Formscan - A tentative vote goes to CONKWELL LEGEND, who was leading and going well when falling three out in a veterans' handicap chase at Exeter last time. A return to hurdles looks like a shrewd move and conditions should be in his favour. Grade 1 winner Monmiral and Walking On Air also revert to the smaller obstacles, with the latter's Newbury second given a big boost since. Last year's winner Thanksforthehelp and Supremely West are just a couple more to consider.
