Formscan - Not at her best in testing ground last time, SUPREME MALINAS won a Listed contest over 2m3f prior to that. She could prove better than her opening mark, having beaten a subsequent Listed winner at Haydock, while this extra test of stamina also promises to bring about further improvement. Progressive C&D winner Peacenik has a 9lb hike to contend with, but could still prove a bigger threat than J J Moon and Lihyan.
