Formscan - French Ship offered plenty to work with when second on his hurdles bow over 2m here last month and he is likely to relish this distance. However, dual bumper winner LET IT RAIN makes her debut over timber and, in receipt of weight all round, Dan Skelton's mare could have too much class for these rivals. Newton Tornado created a good impression when winning on his sole start between the flags in Ireland and market support would be interesting.
