Formscan - Altmore made an encouraging stable debut for Edward Bethell when a staying-on third over 7f at Southwell and he's of huge interest stepping back up in trip off the same mark, but MILTEYE shades the verdict in receipt of 8lb. The five-year-old has been in excellent form of late and, with Aiden Brookes' claim taken into consideration, he effectively lines up off the same mark as when readily making all at Carlisle latest. Great Blasket and Garden Oasis are others to keep an eye on.
