Formscan  - Unsung Hero is sure to be popular here in pursuit of the hat-trick, but he's now 9lb higher so it might be worth taking a chance on the handicap debutant BARE NECESSITY. Clive Cox's filly hasn't been seen since slightly disappointing at Southwell in January, but, prior to that, she was a comfortable winner of a novice contest here over 6f, so she could be capable of making a winning return. Visibility has been in good form lately and is another to keep an eye on.
