Formscan - This can go the way of course-specialist EMIYN, who won this contest last year off 7lb lower and was also victorious here over shorter in July. The six-year-old remains unexposed over marathon trips and may have too much class for Baez, who is up in grade and in search of a five-timer. The recent Goodwood winner Zealandia and the Group 1-placed Tashkhan can also have a say in proceedings.
