Formscan - Saytarr has to be respected following a hat-trick on the all-weather, while Angel Hunter and Tilted Kilt are other recent winners on synthetics who have to be considered. That said, preference is for GREEK ORDER, who should appreciate this ease in grade. The six-year-old was not beaten that far in the Balmoral over C&D to end last season and similar comments apply to his return in the Lincoln. This is not as strong as those contests and Michael Bell's gelding can take advantage.
