Formscan - It's hard to get away from SHANAGH BOB after the expensively-bought point-to-point scorer made a winning start under rules at Plumpton, despite looking ill at ease on the sharp circuit. This stiffer track should play much more to his strengths and he looks to have more scope than fellow point winner Illico De Cotte, who is bound to improve for the experience of just being touched off at Lingfield last month. Destroytheevidence has already won three times over hurdles and clearly enters the equation too.
