Formscan - Although unable to build on his win in this contest last year, HENRY'S FRIEND could be worth chancing on the back of a wind procedure. The nine-year-old is fresh from a 189-day break and may have been targeted here. Califet En Vol would be a live threat judged on the pick of his form over fences, but has yet to convince with his stamina over this far. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from Viroflay, who was last seen romping home at Newton Abbot in May.
