Formscan  - Say What You See finished a creditable third in this class at York last month and has to be respected, especially because this step up in distance might bring out improvement. However, ALL IN YOU was highly tried and well beaten in the Ascot Stakes in June, but this is an easier assignment and a mark of 90 might underestimate his ability. Valedictory sports a first-time visor and is another to keep a close eye on.
