Formscan - A change of scenery seems to have worked the oracle for SHIPSHAPE. The son of New Bay has won two of his five starts so far for Bernard Llewellyn's yard and, having scored with plenty left in the tank at Hamilton last time, he looks one to keep on the right side of. Narrowly defeated at Wolverhampton last month, Free Speech returns to the turf with solid claims, while Newtown Duke is another to consider.
