Formscan - ONLY THE BOLD was beaten by only half a length in a thrilling three-way finish in a veterans' event at Sandown most recently. The 10-year-old is still of relatively low mileage over fences and, from the same mark, there is good reason to expect another bold showing. The consistent Rivers Corner has younger legs and could be a big danger to the selection, while King's Threshold is a previous course winner that can also play a strong role.
