Formscan - POKER FACE was well supported at Pontefract ahead of his debut and the son of Fastnet Rock duly obliged, powering clear in the closing stages to record a comfortable success. His dam was a winner on the all-weather, so the switch from turf is unlikely to hinder his chances, and with Harry Burns' 3lb claim partly negating his penalty, he could take all the beating. Melfet bolted up at Kempton on his latest outing and looks the biggest danger, ahead of Alnilam, who is fitted with cheekpieces.
