Formscan - A case can be made for several of these, but marginal preference is for IRISH HILL. He defied a 6lb rise to secure a three-and-three-quarter-length victory over 2m4f at Fakenham last month and is fancied to land a hat-trick here, but French Listed winner Zoffany Bay would be dangerous to dismiss on his return following a 700-day break. Homme Public is another to bear in mind following his success at Huntingdon last month.
