Formscan - A case can be made for most of these, but the vote goes to HENRI THE SECOND. Paul Nicholls' charge was impressive when winning a Grade 2 at Sandown last month and, though he must concede weight all round, the improving six-year-old appears to hold leading claims. Can You Call landed a significant gamble when winning at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve and he's considered, along with Pembroke, who bids to make it 3-4 over timber. Rock My Way bumped into a promising type over C&D earlier this month and he shouldn't be underestimated either.
