Formscan - Last year's Derby winner LAMBOURN looks poised to make a winning return to action back at the site of his Chester Vase victory. After a couple of below-par runs at the end of the season, the application of cheekpieces here can sharpen the colt up. George Scott's Bay City Roller rounded out his season with Group 1 success in Germany and may be the most likely challenger to the Derby winner. King's Gambit was no match for the winner when second in the Sefton Stakes last month but may be better for the run. Curragh Group 3 winner Starford arrives here having made a solid start to his season but will have to overcome the widest draw from stall nine, while Royal Rhyme may appreciate a softer surface than this.
