Formscan - 13-year-old SHANTOU FLYER still appears to retain plenty of his ability and was last seen between the flags narrowly beating last year's Aintree Festival Foxhunters winner Latenightpass. He arrives as the highest-rated rival and should take all the beating. Famous Clermont arrives on the back of a 30-length romp in a point-to-point at Larkhill on New Year's Day and rates a live threat, with Step Back making more appeal than Another Venture, after not being disgraced in a handicap over C&D on Boxing Day.
