Formscan - Byzantium is entitled to build on last season's hurdles bow when runner-up at Taunton, but that maiden contest hasn't worked out as hoped and the four-year-old may be worth taking on. Although penalised for his breakthrough victory at Uttoxeter 35 days ago, the Ben Case-trained WINDSURFER is entitled to build on that return to action and he looks capable of following up. The Winslow Boy arrives on the back of a respectable third at Worcester and he shouldn't be far away.
