Formscan - ROCHEVAL confirmed his promise in bumpers when running out a ready winner on his hurdling debut at Ayr in December. Lucinda Russell's gelding looks capable of defying a 7lb penalty and he can keep his unbeaten record intact. Hill Spirit may serve the most resistance to the selection if judged on his penultimate outing when scoring at Ludlow in early January. Kabuki will need to build on his fifth-placed timber bow at Newbury, but he could well do so.
