Formscan  - Afif looks an interesting newcomer as a son of Palace Pier out of a well-bred French mare, and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye. He can go well but ALTIUS has he benefit of racecourse experience after finishing third when sent off favourite at Sandown. He may have simply run into a pair of smart horses that day and seems worth a second chance. Kicking Bear finished second on his introduction and should progress, while Procyon cannot be overlooked.
