Formscan - SIMILAR STORY caught the eye when finishing second over 2m4f in a Hexham handicap hurdle on her return to the track earlier this month, conceding first run to the winner before staying on well. Stepping back up in trip on her chasing debut, this point-to-point winner gets the vote to land the spoils. The largely consistent Raceview Road had excuses for his recent low-key effort over C&D, and he commands respect off the same mark, while recent Downpatrick winner Edgewell must enter calculations too.
