Formscan - MISTYMAL saw the trip out well to justify favouritism over C&D on his chasing debut last month and should have plenty more to offer. A 4lb higher mark is far from insurmountable in this company and back-to-back wins could be imminent for the Tim Vaughan-trained gelding. Fellow last-time-out winner Pawpaw is a serious threat under a 7lb penalty for last Friday's 3m2f success at Fontwell, although Ballynaheer has shown promise over fences and also warrants consideration.
