Formscan - LEADER WING was only beaten a short-head when second over C&D earlier in the month and the first-time application of a visor can help the five-year-old to go one better on this occasion, despite a 3lb rise. Beat The Retreat scored at Ayr three weeks ago and another good run can be expected here, while Lizzie Luna is best of the rest.
