Formscan - SAILTHISSHIPALONE is a previous course winner who has held his form well this season. Having won at Ayr prior to a respectable fifth in a competitive heat at York most recently, the reliable five-year-old ought to be bang there at the business end. Tim Easterby has a good record in this race and his Per Contra is suggested as another strong contender, while the betting market should be revealing when it comes to Obito and Walsingham.
