Formscan  - NORTHERN VIOLA was a surprise winner at Beverley as far at the betting went, but she was tenacious at the finish and a 2lb rise looks more than fair. Stepping up in distance is a potential source of further improvement and the daughter of mighty stayer Stradivarius looks worth following. Akaraka is another who may benefit from this stiffer test of stamina and he rates a big danger. Crown Ranger's consistency earns him the mantle as the pick of the rest.
