Thu 9th Jul

Formscan  - DESERT LEGEND made a promising start to his career when third at Windsor last week and the manner of that performance suggested he would be likely to get off the mark sooner rather than later. Macau finished his race off well at Wolverhampton and is entitled to be in the mix, along with Windsor runner-up My Boo Boo and Minster Boy.
