Formscan  - CLASSY AL has won three of his last five starts and comes here chasing a hat-trick so it's easy to see why he'll prove popular. Two of those victories have come over C&D and jockey Lauren Young won on him at Ayr two starts ago, so everything points to another bold showing from this in-form sprinter. Others to note include Arctic Voyage and Grandlad.
