Formscan - The hat-trick seeking Star Of Affinity has proved most progressive since returning with a victory at Exeter in October and another bold bid looks likely. However, a 9lb hike for his Kempton triumph earlier this month could prove to be his undoing, with KING OF THE LAKE edging the vote. A wind procedure worked the oracle for Jeremy Scott's gelding judged on his 26-length romp at Wincanton 13 days ago and an 11lb higher mark looks surmountable. Bobby Socks is also noted.
