Formscan - After a disappointing defeat at Windsor, NORN IRON made amends when sporting a first-time tongue-tie over track and trip in January. Harry Derham's eight-year-old has an 8lb higher mark to contend with but, considering the manner of that success, he looks the one to beat. Toothless rarely runs a bad race and a repeat of his second at Ludlow gives him a chance, while First Angel is far from out of it either.
