Formscan - Connections of point-to-point winner SOUTHOFTHEBORDER waste little time in sending him over fences after a promising novice hurdle campaign last season. An opening mark of 126 could prove lenient on his return from a 360-day layoff and market support for Nicky Henderson's charge would increase confidence. Leader In The Park made it second-time lucky when scoring over the larger obstacles at Kempton on Boxing Day and a 4lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Chase debutant Ramo is also worth a second look.
