Formscan - TWO COMMANDERS successfully stepped back up to 7f at Musselburgh and has the scope to make further progress. A 3lb higher rating doesn't appear to be too restrictive and, from a handy draw, another bold showing is feasible. Giant is adaptable regarding the trip and is another key player back over 7f, while Dublin Bay and Alfa Whiteburd also warrant close inspection.
