Formscan - Proper Twelve made it no further than the first fence when falling at Taunton in late November, although he still ranks as a potential improver over staying distances. However, HILLTOWN won't be lacking for stamina judged on last month's C&D second and the six-year-old rates a more solid proposition. William Ewart needs to bounce back from a lesser effort when a well-beaten third at Wincanton in March, but Christian Williams' charge won at Southwell the time before and shouldn't be far away if running to his best.
