Formscan - BIPLANE returned to winning ways when adopting more positive tactics at Newcastle last month and she looks capable of shrugging off a 4lb rise if displaying a similar approach on this switch to turf. Kalahari Prince has slowly been coming into form and the David O'Meara-trained gelding isn't taken lightly now 4lb lower his Redcar triumph in October. Alpine Sierra may be freshened up by a change of scenery and is another to note.
