Formscan  - A taking winner of this contest last year off 3lb lower, YANIFER arrives in good form and he could be set to go one better than he did at York and Doncaster recently. Bobby Bennu bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Haydock and is likely to figure, along with Palmar Bay, who has strong claims on his success at Chelmsford two starts back. Course winner Flaming Rib and Rogue Sensation cannot be ruled out either.
