Formscan - BRIAN proved much more competitive when finishing second to a subsequent winner at Newbury and he makes plenty of appeal off an unaltered mark. Moreover, the four-year-old enjoys cut in the ground so conditions look ideal. Monday's Epsom runner-up Rhoscolyn clearly retains plenty of ability and a 2lb lower figure makes him a live threat, while Brighton Boy should appreciate a return to this trip.
