Formscan  - FANTASTIC LADY has struggled in some very competitive events the last twice but it would be no surprise to see Nicky Henderson's mare bounce back to form in this company. The Wolf has been knocking hard on the door of late and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Sail Away edges out Stormin Crossgales to be best of the rest.
