Formscan - A 2lb drop in the ratings could prove lenient for LIHOU, who caught the eye when a staying-on fifth at Epsom recently. A previous C&D winner, David Evans' veteran is now 9lb below his last winning mark and this class 5 contest looks ripe for the taking. Safari Dream posted a solid third at Windsor on Monday and he's feared most. Sub Thirteen made a winning stable bow at Bath last month and a 3lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent him being involved too.
