Formscan - Having finished runner-up on his last four outings, a return to handicap company shouldn't prevent another bold bid from Argy Bhaji. Although the Ardad gelding isn't taken lightly, he may have to play second fiddle once more, with VALOR SPIRIT getting the vote. Bryan Smart's charge found only one rival too strong on his stable bow at Ripon and any improvement may enable a breakthrough victory. Believeinmenow is also worth a second look.
