Formscan - A small but competitive field with The Doyen Chief heading the weights as he drops in class after pulling up in a Listed handicap at Punchestown in May. He has had wind surgery since and is up to this level, but giving 22lb to PAPER MILL seems a big ask. The 10-year-old won a lesser contest at Southwell last time and is worth a chance in this better company. Livin On Luco is not out of it either but may have to settle for third.
