FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SATONO CHEVALIER finished third to a subsequent winner on December 6, when his rider claimed 5lb, and should run to his rating. Ideally suited by the all-weather, he is consistent and likes this distance. Dual course winner Benavente was beaten by today's rival Fairytale Princess here in November on his first attempt at this distance and might build on that, despite being 1lb out of the handicap. Fairytale Princess was subsequently well held by Yokkell - which the selection chased home recently and which loosely ties together some form lines. Final Check finished sixth in that December 6 race but is now 4lb out of the handicap. Top weight Tyson Fury ran well on yard debut recently but would prefer further while six-time course winner Freescape's rating has fallen recently. Migdam doesn't look ahead of the handicapper. Point Gellibrand, Dukeman and 4lb 'wrong' Young And Fun are each long absent debuting for new connections.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (100 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
