Formscan - Four-time C&D winner VENTURA EXPRESS bounced back to form with a good second at Beverley earlier this month and compensation could be on the cards. Although the veteran has received a 1lb nudge up in the ratings, he is still 4lb below his last winning mark. Elegant Erin should find this easier than her latest seventh in a class 2 event at Newcastle and is feared most, ahead of Brummell.
