Formscan - Having gained compensation for a string of creditable efforts in defeat when scoring in style at Thirsk, Military Leader is dangerous to dismiss. That said, a 9lb hike could be enough to anchor the five-year-old, with CROWN OFFICE taken to benefit. William Haggas' gelding found only a subsequent winner too strong on his most recent outing at Nottingham and a second career victory may beckon. The Sweet Escape arrives at the top of his game and completes the shortlist.
