Formscan - Slight preference is for the unexposed JAVERT ALLEN, who ran with plenty of credit when second on his handicap debut at Ludlow in October and he has scope for enough improvement to defy a 5lb rise for that effort today. A half-brother to the capable Gladiateur Allen, the four-year-old should be fine in these conditions and he is preferred to the consistent Matchless, who has not been outside the first three in his last five hurdle starts. Course winner Mr Mackay and Swinton Hurdle runner-up Teddy Blue can also have a say in proceedings.
