Formscan - West Away impressed when scoring with the minimum amount of fuss over an extended 2m4f at Roscommon last month and he must be of interest once more, although a 13lb higher mark might make life difficult. JUAN BERMUDEZ is preferred. Dan Skelton's charge looked progressive when landing two novice hurdles last month prior to finishing down the field in a warm handicap over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter most recently. Off an unchanged mark with his sights lowered, he appeals most for a yard who tend to excel in races like this. Sea The Clouds is also noted.
