In depth

Verdict

Flower Of Scotland placed over hurdles and fences in France but has shown little since joining Sandy Thomson. Lanty Slea had only two rivals when landing a Carlisle bumper a year ago but should make a hurdler. Ahoy Senor won a maiden point in November and was second in a bumper here in January, despite racing keenly. Another winning pointer, Gold Cup Bailly, is probably the form pick on his third at Punchestown but JANTE LAW only weakened close home in a strong-looking Musselburgh bumper last time and might be some value switching to hurdles and stepped up in trip.
