Formscan  - York maiden winner Inner City Blues is the real unknown quantity pitched immediately into a Group contest but Charlie Appleby did saddle the favourite to no avail in this 12 months ago, and it might pay to err on the side of proven Pattern-class form in ADAAY OF SCARLETT. Two from two before filling the runner-up spot in the National Stakes and Coventry, he's still a horse with bags of potential and can gain his just reward. Hickory Lad is next best.
