Formscan - A major improver on the step up to three miles at Newbury, ED KEEPER remains unexposed and should have plenty more to come off a 9lb higher mark. Sam Thomas' charge may have enough improvement in the tank to see off C&D winner Butch and Springwell Bay, who is entitled to progress for the rise in distance, having scored well here in November over 2m5f. Come On Teddy showed a hint of promise on his return from an absence and is expected to step forward.
