Formscan - HELTENHAM looks progressive over fences and is likely to be hard to beat if he takes another step forward after winning in an impressive manner at Newcastle on Boxing Day. How's The Cricket tries a tongue-tie and cheekpieces combination for the first time and may also find improvement, while Hidor De Bersy is better judged on his good second posted at Wetherby on chase debut in November.
