Formscan - JOHN BETJEMAN was well held in fourth at Plumpton, but he has been dropped another 3lb and now sports a first-time visor. The nine-year-old lurks on an appealing mark and could finally return to winning ways. Clear Storm made the frame on her first handicap start in this sphere at Taunton and is an interesting contender on her debut for the Neil Mulholland stable. Of the remainder, Thankyouandplease makes the most appeal.
