Formscan - BIRD OF WAR has been found a really winnable opening and was noted staying on well into third over 7f at Newcastle last time. This extended 7f trip on a galloping track should suit Charlie Hills' charge and with 5lb claimer Harry Vigors keeping the ride, everything points to a bold showing. Cypriot Diaspora and Sofian are track-and-trip winners to keep an eye on, with the latter landing this prize 12 months ago, while Thestral isn't out of it either.
