Formscan - ONEWAYWEST caught the eye when staying on from well off the pace to fill the runner-up spot over C&D on his reappearance, getting closest to a progressive winner. Ben Pauling's six-year-old looks set to improve and, despite a 4lb rise, is taken to go one place better. Hartington struck the crossbar in a Listed contest at Sandown and merits respect on his handicap bow, as does Reallyntruthfully, who impressed when landing a maiden hurdle at Warwick.
