Formscan - HOSTILE HOTELIER attracted plenty of market support ahead of his handicap debut and justified it with a determined display over 2m at Hexham. The way he stuck to his guns strongly suggested that this trip can help spark further improvement and that was his first run since May, which should also help bring him forward. Barney Stinson would be feared more were it not for his 16-month absence, so Dance Thief is put forward as the one for forecast backers.
