Formscan - ROYSSE looked the most likely winner approaching two from home on his seasonal/hurdles debut, but he blew up a little near the finish and could only manage second. That performance was promising, though, and he can go one place better today with that outing under his belt. El Rayo finished a creditable third at Huntingdon last month and any improvement would bring him firmly into this, while Mistress Emma, who hasn't been seen since winning a Worcester bumper in June 2022, would be of interest should the market spoke in her favour.
