Formscan - Mirzimaan's effort on his nursery debut at York appeared too bad to be true and George Boughey's colt is much better judged on his couple of efforts prior, but the vote goes to EASY ANSWER. Down the field in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, his subsequent third at Salisbury was boosted by the winner landing the Flying Scotsman at Doncaster last week and an opening mark of 76 is more than fair. Catching Dreams has the most untapped potential and his yard is flying.
