Formscan - Successful on his penultimate outing at Kempton, ERNST BLOFELD was then far from disgraced when seventh in the Copper Horse at the Royal meeting. The four-year-old only gave way inside the final furlong that day and a return to his last winning distance looks ideal. Ghaiyya should find this easier than the Listed event in which she finished eighth at Pontefract and she's feared most, ahead of Duke Of Edinburgh seventh Nesthorn.
