Formscan - A previous C&D winner, AMERICAN STATE benefits from a handy draw and could be up to the task in a race where recent convincing form is thin on the ground. That said, Espanita, who got off the mark at the 11th time of asking in a similar event at Lingfield nine days ago, must be feared off just 3lb higher. The Hare Rail and Drumstick are others for the shortlist.
