Formscan  - Francisco's Piece arrives on the back of a respectable fifth in the Shergar Cup Sprint at Ascot and he must enter the reckoning on this drop in class, but ARABIAN COBRA is more progressive. Hugo Palmer's charge has finished a close-up third twice since supplementing a Thirsk triumph here in June and he looks more than capable of scoring again off his current rating. Showering is the pick of the remainder.
