Formscan - BAMPTON STAR has progressed well for the switch to fences, with victories on both starts at Exeter. The handicapper has raised him 8lb for the latest of those but he appears capable of further improvement. Le Grand Vert has been running with credit of late and is a key player, with Brian Hughes a notable jockey booking. Dusautior is entitled to step forward from his third at Huntingdon and is capable of a decent showing, as is Nine Nine Nine.
