Formscan - Trailblazer found a 6lb rise for winning here beyond him when second at Perth last time. He can have a say in proceedings once again, but it could pay to stick with GAVIN. The latter bounced back to form with a convincing win at Ffos Las a week ago and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to anchor him, given Mickey Bowen's charge has won off higher marks in the past. Mr Sundancer may prove best of the rest.
