Formscan - SIOG GEAL has offered plenty of promise on her runner-up efforts in bumpers at Aintree and Cheltenham and she could prove hard to beat debuting over hurdles. Fergal O'Brien's mare was a winner of her sole start between the flags and it's fellow hurdles debutant Surrey Belle who is feared most. The four-year-old has proved progressive on the Flat this year and sustained market support would be interesting. Penalised winner Reel Rosie should give another good account.
