Formscan  - YOUNG JACK is an obvious one after two second-placed finishes. Chris Grant's gelding looks well worth another chance, nudged up 1lb after his latest near-miss at Kelso. That was his first try in cheekpieces and this longer trip could draw further improvement. Finn Lough is a proven stayer to seriously consider off a competitive rating, while Johnson's Blue can probably take the measure of Caughtinyourtrance, who is respected but seems to reserve his best efforts for Cartmel in the summer.
