Formscan - Although arguably in better form when landing the corresponding event 12 months ago, it might still pay to side with BIRKENHEAD. Paul Midgley's gelding was far from disgraced in a higher grade at York latest and, from 1lb below last year's successful mark, a bold bid looks likely. A short head separated Betweenthesticks (winner) and Another Baar (second) at Pontefract recently but while the pair should be closely matched again, the hat-trick seeking Irish Dancer might be a bigger threat.
