Formscan - FADED FANTASY successfully made it two victories from his last three starts at Worcester and is 6lb higher. Christian Williams' six-year-old should have no issues with this extra distance and can continue his good form. Testflight returned to winning ways over fences here last month and holds an obvious chance off a 5lb lower figure, while Chief Black Robe is another to keep an eye on.
