Formscan - The veteran SPRING BLOOM has been showing his younger counterparts how it's done recently. John Butler's gelding arrives having notched up a brace of C&D wins last month and can go in again under a 4lb penalty. Havana Blue would be a deserved winner having twice struck the woodwork at Ascot, and don't rule out Fiscal Policy, whose two latest efforts have come in a pair of fiercely competitive York affairs.
