Formscan - A tricky contest on paper and only a tentative vote can go to SUMMERGROUNDS. The 10-year-old has been running creditably during the summer months and the extra distance could yield some improvement. Maillot Blanc is only 2lb higher than when dead-heating here in May and is capable of a decent showing, while Bold Light and Evenwood Sonofagun are others to note.
