Formscan  - This a weak handicap where BETELGEUSE can stamp his authority under top weight. Having improved to finish a close second with cheekpieces tried at Newmarket, dropping down a grade could be a shrewd move if the switch to blinkers draws another sustained effort. Joanna Hiffernan is a potential improver to consider on handicap debut, while Trojan Truth is back on a winning mark and cannot be ruled out.
