Formscan - PALAMON is a consistent chaser that has thrived on being kept busy of late. A winner at Southwell before suffering a troubled run when second at Plumpton, the Dan Skelton-trained gelding could be tough to overhaul. The hat-trick seeking Tanking Along is an obvious threat, although an 8lb rise for his latest success at Perth demands more of him. Therefore, the class-dropping Kahavari may be a bigger danger off just 3lb above his Sandown winning mark.
