Formscan - COVENTRY overcame an absence to spring a surprise at Perth. He was running off a mark 44lb below his peak rating when trained by Gordon Elliott in Ireland and considering that was also his first start after wind surgery, it seems safe to assume the nine-year-old could be well ahead of the assessor. U S Marshall, La Lolita and Final Straw are suggested as the best remaining options for the shortlist, with the latter feared most on his first run since leaving Nicky Henderson.
