Formscan - NO LUNCH (1) faced a tough challenge in his last visit. He steps down to a Listed Conditional here and has strong claims. MOUNT ATHOS (2) returns to French soil after a rest. He had a positive penultimate in Kempton Park and could improve after his break, can be competitive here. PALMAR BAY (5), not much is in his favour on this occasion and is unlikely to have what it takes to win but is still a solid pick for place bets. FERRARI FEVER (4) is coming off a hat-trick of wins and will be holding his head high after his most recent effort. He warrants an each way shout.
