Formscan - A slow start proved costly for COME ON JOHN when finishing a never-nearer third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton six days ago. A winner over that same C&D the time before, James Owen's charge should take all the beating here if coping with a quick turnaround and he makes plenty of appeal racing before his revised mark takes effect. Busby didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when finishing fifth over shorter at Dunstall Park earlier this month and the veteran is feared most, ahead of Spartan Times.
