Formscan - VILLAGE MASTER remains unbeaten in five starts over the larger obstacles and the handicapper may not have caught up with him yet based on his latest success at Fontwell in June. Pedley Wood improved last season with a brace of victories at Hereford and Taunton. Joe Tizzard's gelding remains open to improvement on just his sixth start over fences, while Icaque De L'isle and Bonza Boy are others to consider.
