Formscan - Hickory tasted success in an open Ascot handicap last month and is in no deeper here, but even a 2lb rise at this stage of his career might leave him vulnerable, whereas BROCKLESBY BILL remains open to plenty of improvement. Kathy Turner's gelding made it two wins from five career starts when making all at Sandown and whilst Charlie Tucker negates the 4lb rise he should have every chance of doubling up. Principality heads the remainder.
