Formscan  - Filanderer picked up where he left off last term when strolling away from his Ffos Las rivals, but he faces a different calibre of opponent and must compete from out of the handicap. Telepathique is 20lb higher than when last seen in handicap company, while American Mike hasn't lived up to the expectations set by beating Fact To File two years ago, although the switch to Olly Murphy could help rejuvenate him. Heltenham showed more at Wetherby and has had wind surgery since, but TWINJETS had him 12 lengths back in third when making a successful comeback at Fontwell and can go in again.
