Formscan - Having shaped with promise on his third-placed seasonal debut at Worcester last month, BETTER OFF ALONE could be worth persevering with. A 2lb drop in the ratings may prove to be lenient for the seven-year-old and he gets the verdict over Jo Arengeot Bey Aa. Donald McCain's charge boasts a C&D victory in May and he'll appreciate reverting to 3m judged on his latest third over 2m7f at Worcester. Fane Court is the pick of the remainder.
