Formscan - Tis But A Scratch posted his best effort to date when a close-up second at Uttoxeter last time out and a 1lb higher mark should see him remaining competitive. However, STILETTO shades the verdict after posting a promising fourth on his seasonal bow at Warwick towards the end of May. Keiran Burke's charge was unfortunate to bump into some well-handicapped rivals last year and an elusive first win could be on the horizon. Coup De Gold is also an intriguing runner upped markedly in distance.
