Formscan - Plenty of connections will be arriving here confident that their charges can land this prize, but the nod goes to PEKING ROSE. Fergal O'Brien's seven-year-old ran on gamely to land a 2m4f contest at Aintree in October and the 3lb rise for that success may prove lenient here. Petit Tonnerre was in third on that occasion and he arrives here on better terms, but may still struggle to reverse that form with the winner. West Balboa is having her first run since December and she could prove to be a nice type for the Skelton team.
