Formscan - Tolstoy fared best of those who reoppose from a York handicap earlier in the month, having finished third on that occasion, and the Leger Legends winner commands plenty of respect. However, the vote goes to recent Ayr winner STANAGE, who took advantage of a falling handicap mark and may well strike again. King's School and Feel The Need complete the shortlist.
