Formscan - Guchen has to be respected following wins at Kempton and Newbury, but his mark has risen a further 10lb and Aamilah Aswat can only claim 3lb today rather than the usual 10lb. That may leave the top-weight vulnerable, and possibly leave the door open for KAP BOY. Olly Murphy's charge faces his easiest task since romping to victory at Perth in October (placed in competitive handicaps at Cheltenham and Kempton since) and similar conditions should bring about another big performance. Irish raider Westoftignes won readily on his first outing for John McConnell at Wexford and is noted, along with Nice One Eric and Thankyouandplease.
