Fri 2nd Jan

Formscan  - COLORS OF FREEDOM ticks plenty of boxes as a three-time C&D winner, the latest coming last June off a 1lb higher mark. Only beaten a neck last time out when caught late on, she clearly has a decent chance in this field. Back Before Dark wasn't at her best at Newcastle, but first-time blinkers could see her do better. Second Collection and Forest Gunner are others for the shortlist.
