Formscan  - SFORZA CASTLE bumped into a progressive type when he was an eye-catching second over C&D last month and, given that was easily his best effort so far, there could be more to come from Ben Pauling's gelding. The fitting of cheekpieces may give him some added focus and a breakthrough success looks likely. Olivers Travels and Ismael both stayed 3m in point-to-points and appeal most of the remainder.
