Formscan - CHIEF SUNDAY produced a better effort over 2m at Perth prior to 2m4f possibly stretching his stamina when well beaten at Aintree last time. Nigel Twiston-Davies' four-year-old now makes his handicap debut on only his third start over hurdles and could appreciate the drop back in trip to defy an opening mark of 104. Brave Jen got off the mark at Sedgefield earlier in the month and she has to be considered on her return to the handicap ranks, while Traveling Soldier is another to consider.
