Formscan - With just the three runners heading to post, it is easiest to side with STAGE STAR, who readily saw off Mortlach on his most recent outing at Plumpton over an extended 2m3f. He represents a stable in flying form, so should not be underestimated, but Lac De Constance was going well when unseating Harry Skelton on his latest run over 2m at Kempton and rates a serious threat to the selection. Grand Voyage completes the line-up.
