Formscan - DUC DE BEAUCHENE is on a roll after following up last month's Wincanton success with a commanding performance to get up late and win the Norfolk National at Fakenham 20 days ago. A 4lb higher mark looks lenient in the context of this race and David Pipe's long-distance traveller looks the one to be on here. Stylish Moment is another last-time-out winner who is respected, even though he needs another personal best off 7lb higher. Chirico Vallis and Dee Star complete the shortlist.
