Formscan - This has gone the way of a five-year-old in three of the last five renewals and FRENCH SHIP is fancied to improve that trend. The son of French Navy was well in contention when falling just after the third-last in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow earlier this month and goes off an unchanged rating. East India Express bolted up at this venue when last seen, to make it three wins from his last four starts, and has to be respected. Jazzy Matty and The Expensive One are just two others to consider.
