Formwatch
Ebinzayd (IRE) looks the one to beat in an intriguing novices' hurdle. The hugely promising five-year-old has taken really well to the hurdling game, winning three races this season, and looked very impressive when bolting up at Musselburgh last time. Trainer Len Lungo is now officially Scotland's greatest ever handler, having surpassed the late Ken Oliver's record number of 56 winners in a season the other week when The Bajan Bandit won at Aintree. The dangers include Swan Knight, who holds Marble Arch on their Wincanton running, and Impek, whose trainer Henrietta Knight is chasing a first winner here for many years.
