Formscan  - Humble Spark (second) is 1lb better off with his recent conqueror Charlie's Choice, but the latter was arguably worth more than the winning margin that day and he is expected to confirm that form. That said, preference is for ASGARD'S CAPTAIN. Dylan Cunha's gelding hasn't quite seen out 1m3f and 1m4f recently, but the five-year-old, who was a winner over this C&D off just 2lb lower in December, may well fare better now dropped in trip.
