Formscan  - GNOMON was no match for a subsequent Grade 2 winner at Kempton on Boxing Day but this looks to be a suitable opportunity for him to get off the mark over timber. A useful type on the Flat for Ralph Beckett, he is likely to be too strong for Way Of Stars (second) and Babyken (third), who were closely matched over C&D last month.
