Formscan  - DREAM FOREVER gave the impression that an extra furlong would be right up his street after improving on his juvenile form when runner-up here last month. Jedd O'Keeffe's charge appears to have more upside than the majority of his rivals and gets the vote to strike. Panthere Noir has been gelded ahead of his first run since December and that might yield improvement. Popty Ping and Mereside Princess complete the shortlist.
