Formscan - TAHMURAS may have been a beaten favourite on his most recent start at Exeter, but he was giving a useful rival 5lb on that occasion and he gets a tentative nod in this wide-open event. Arclight is unbeaten in three starts over fences and Nicky Henderson's mare should not be underestimated. Le Patron is more than capable of going well if leaving his disappointing Scilly Isles run behind him, while similar comments apply to Pembroke and Blow Your Wad.
