Formscan - The Changing Man deserves to win a big handicap, having finished second in both the Rehearsal and Silver Cup this season. He is not doing his mark any favours, though, and might have to settle for another supporting role behind FORWARD PLAN. Anthony Honeyball's nine-year-old was beaten by the narrowest of margins in this race 12 months ago, boasts really strong course form, and is 4-8 over the trip. Tightenourbelts arrives in good nick chasing a hat-trick and might not be done improving over fences yet. Towards the other end of the weights, Idalko Bihoue could reward each-way support.
