Formscan  - It's difficult to rule many of these out, with AKHO MEZZNA the most compelling. Jack Jones' charge appreciated a step up in distance when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month and a 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks workable. Barbury Boy has scored on two of his three attempts in handicap company and he's feared most, ahead of Sassicaia, who has undergone a gelding procedure since finishing third at Ascot.
