Formscan - A host of chances in what looks a typically wide open renewal, including last year's winner Northern Express, who is able to compete from a 2lb lower mark this time around. Aalto holds strong claims having been beaten a nose in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago, as does Billyjoh, who finished behind him in third. However, preference is for CLASSIC, who ended a losing sequence at Sandown latest. The son of Dubawi should find this kind of test to his liking and a 5lb rise will be no barrier to further success. Others to note include Oliver Show and Fresh.
