Formscan - Twice a winner here over hurdles, it is difficult to oppose PILGRIMS KING, who has made a strong start to racing back over fences and did well when rallying late for second in a higher grade at Haydock last month. Peter Bowen's charge is preferred to Out Of Focus, who was an eye-catcher on his chase debut at Hereford when keeping on late for fourth over 2m. Kap Chidley hasn't shown much since finishing second at Uttoxeter last October, though dropping in trip could aid his cause.
