Formscan - The veteran ORBAAN has run with credit since scoring at Beverley last month and, with Daniel Tudhope returning to the saddle, the son of Invincible Spirit may be able to notch up an eighth career success. Volenti has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his second over C&D two starts ago, while Distinction looks to build on a comfortable success over further at Beverley last time out, for which he has been raised 3lb.
