Formscan - Popmaster was just touched off over 7f at Newbury last month and another bold bid can be expected, although he may be susceptible to some better treated rivals, such as INGRA TOR. Jack Channon's charge was a good second last time over 6f at Kempton and he shaped as if a win could be just around the corner, despite being handed a 1lb rise in the ratings. Temple Bruer completes the shortlist.
