Formscan  - Empty Nest justified favouritism at Newcastle on his most recent start and should mount a bold bid to complete a double, despite having a 3lb higher mark to contend with. However, TOP OF THE BAY gets the vote. Sam England's eight-year-old was denied by half a length into second at Newcastle earlier in the month and can defy his 1lb rise for that display. Yes And Yes completes the shortlist.
