Formscan - The combination of the application of a tongue-tie and switch to handicapping has brought the best out in Politacus, who followed up her Huntingdon victory when landing the spoils at Hereford. However, she may prove vulnerable now dropping to 2m, with preference for last month's easy Ayr winner LILY DU BERLAIS. The eight-year-old's current mark looks more than workable and a brace could be on the cards. Strong Belle and Mighty Moth are just two others to note in an open contest.
