Formscan - A fiendishly difficult puzzle to solve as always but it can pay to side with the improving SNASH, whose stable needs no introduction when it comes to this contest. The son of Markaz didn't do himself justice when slowly away in the Great St Wilfrid, and he is better judged on a comfortable success over C&D in July. Behind him on that occasion were Aberama Gold (second) and Bernardo O'Reilly (third), who remain difficult to win with but could get involved. Lovely Breeze has a 5lb penalty to overcome for a convincing victory at Goodwood, while Emperor Spirit and Hyperfocus are others who arrive in great shape.
