Formscan - Things may not have gone to plan for THE REAL WHACKER following his Brown Advisory success but the eight-year-old has an excellent opportunity to finish the season on a high. The Gold Cup ended up proving a step too far on ground that was probably softer than ideal and a track of this nature should bring out the best in this bold-jumping type. Hitman sports blinkers for the first time and would have every chance based on his runner-up effort in the Denman Chase at Newbury, while a sounder surface is definitely in the favour of Ga Law, who was pulled up in the Ryanair when last seen.
