Formscan - Impressive point-to-point winner ILLICO DE COTTE showed a fair level of form over hurdles last season and he may prove to be even better over fences. Now making his first start since wind surgery, Dan Skelton's charge gets the nod to return to winning ways. With plenty of chasing experience already under his belt, Ballydisco looks the pick of the remainder off 4lb higher than when finishing an excellent second over 3m4f at Ffos Las in May. Elleon can also go well.
