Formscan  - A tricky puzzle to solve and a tentative nod goes in the direction of the evergreen DINDIN, who ran well when second over 3m at Bangor last time and can go one better. David Pipe's runner was well clear of the rest on that occasion and can make his presence felt off the same mark. On The Platform rates as the biggest danger after his own second at Bangor, while this extra yardage could suit Dan's Chosen.
