Formscan - Bodygroove's chance had already gone when unseating his rider at Market Rasen last month, but he may be better judged on his success at Wetherby prior. Even so, PUB CRAWL gets the vote. David Pipe's six-year-old showed a lot more when second over C&D in October, finishing over six lengths clear of the third, and he can take full advantage of an unchanged mark. Lawmans Blis is another to consider.
