Formscan - Stroxx held on to make all in a classified stakes at Chelmsford on his latest outing and he has to be considered on his return to the handicap ranks. However, the vote goes to ZOOM STAR, who failed to justify favouritism over C&D in October, but she was far from disgraced in fourth that day. Bryan Smart's mare is 1lb lower and can make a winning return to action. Rockley Point completes the shortlist after his narrow Newcastle defeat.
