Formscan - Behind The Curtain is likely to be well found in the market after a game victory over hurdles last month. That said, he hasn't looked a natural chaser in the past and David Pipe's ten-year-old may prove vulnerable to younger legs, namely chasing debutant PENTIRE HEAD. Paul Nicholls' charge was last seen staying on into third over 2m4f at Ffos Las and connections will be disappointed if a race of this nature wasn't within reach for the son of Presenting. Recent C&D winner Lightonthewing also warrants respect, notwithstanding a 5lb rise for that performance.
