Formscan - THE NEWEST ONE posted a solid effort when a close second in a decent handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last month and could be hard to repel back in novice company. Big City Roller made a pleasing start under Rules when winning at Carlisle 44 days ago and surely has more to offer as he gains experience, while Sprucefrontiers and former point-to-point winner Paddy De Pole also command respect.
