Formscan - Graceful Mary can make her presence felt if recapturing the form which saw her win by half a length over C&D in November, but her lacklustre handicap debut when eighth of 10 last month tempers enthusiasm. The application of a hood for the first time should help East Bank to settle better in the early part of the race and he may outrun his forecast odds. Better ran out a three-length winner over C&D in December but has been hit with an 11lb rise for that success which will make life tougher for him here and preference goes to ZOLA POWER. The latter clearly benefitted from wind surgery when making all to win over 5f at this course eight days ago and he can follow up under a 6lb penalty with scope for improvement following that reappearance run.
