Formscan - A close-up third in a Kelso Grade 2 after occupying the same position in the Formby Novices' Hurdle over Christmas, CANNOCK PARK stands out on form and having previously won a bumper and novice hurdle this season, he can make light of his penalty in this company. Goodwin, who struck at Plumpton prior to a solid Kempton third, is an obvious threat, with Freddie Gordon's 5lb claim an added bonus. In-form trainer Dan Skelton is double-handed, with yard newcomer Next Left a shade more intriguing than Absolutely Fine, despite a lengthy absence.
