Formscan - NORTON HILL had little difficulty in completing a double when romping home at Hereford in December. A further 7lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for Anthony Honeyball's charge and a hat-trick could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from the reappearing Broomfields Cave, who regained the winning thread at Uttoxeter in October. Although Moka De Vassy isn't the most consistent, he lurks on an attractive mark and first-time blinkers could see the six-year-old get involved.
