Formscan - Victorious over C&D on his penultimate start, GOLD DES BOIS is better than he managed when tried at a higher level at Market Rasen last time out. However, the three-time C&D winner returns to his favourite venue with a big chance of further success. Flash Du Pistolet, who made all at Newcastle 19 days ago, is also back here with solid claims off just 6lb higher. Lively Citizen and Escapeandevade are the best of the rest.
