Formscan - AND THE NEW made all to bolt up by 18 lengths over 2m3f at Market Rasen in a class 4 event earlier in the month and he now carries 7lb extra, which is highly unlikely to stop him on that evidence and the veteran can cope with the step back in distance to make it a double. The main threat might be Whodini, who was also an impressive victor last time by seven lengths at Ayr and he is likely to be on the premises again, despite a 6lb rise. Return Ticket makes the most appeal of the remainder.
