Formscan - Winterwatch proved a revelation when opening his hurdling account at the 12th attempt at Newton Abbot recently but he may now prove vulnerable under a penalty, a comment which could also be applied to the four-year-old Wales, who landed a weak maiden event on his first hurdling start over slightly shorter on this track. Preference is for Dan Skelton's JUAN BERMUDEZ, a former winner on the Flat for Andrew Balding who took a clear leap forward when runner-up at Huntingdon last time out.
