Formscan - SONIGINO was far from disgraced when fourth in the Greatwood at Cheltenham last time and he is likely to be hard to stop if reproducing that level of form in this company. Benson did not take to fences but he is only 3lb higher than when winning the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso in March and, on that evidence, Sandy Thomson's gelding could well make his presence felt here. Vicki Vale edges out Holmes St Georges and Bashers Reflection to be the pick of the rest.
