Formscan - Scandinavia's triumph in this contest last season was the beginning of an impressive staying career, in which time he has added a St Leger and Ascot Gold Cup to a stellar CV. The Justify colt broke the heart of TRAWLERMAN at Ascot, but the Gosdens' admirable gelding was lacking match practice prior to that run, which wasn't the case 12 months prior, so if stepping forward as expected, it would come as no surprise were he to exact his revenge. Last year's Derby runner-up Lazy Griff warmed up for this with a cosy Listed win at Sandown and should still have plenty more to offer.
