Formscan - FISTON DE BECON clearly benefited from the step back to 2m when scoring with the minimum of fuss at Southwell and, nudged up 4lb, he can bring up a double for the in-form Olly Murphy team. Toothless is the likely pace angle into the race but after hitting the woodwork on his last couple of starts, the suspicion is that the handicapper remains in control. Chanceux ran with credit when third in a higher grade over C&D last month and with his sights lowered, he is not discounted.
