Formscan By Gary Carson - BLIXEN FORCE has the benefit of a run, which could prove crucial. The Persian Force colt was sent off favourite for the Brocklesby at Doncaster just over three weeks ago and showed some greenness when asked for his effort over a furlong from home. It was a promising run to finish third to A Bear Affair and he can build on it. Stablemate Belle Island has been placed on her two starts to date. Both those have come on the all-weather and the soft ground presents a different challenge. Ballydoyle newcomer Carry The Flag also has to be on the shortlist. The No Nay Never colt was a 250,000 euro yearling and is a half-brother to a Listed winner.
