Formscan - A competitive opener in which it's hard to rule anything out and it may pay to take a punt on AL RUFAA off a falling mark. Charlie Fellowes' gelding comes with risks attached having not won for almost three years, but the six-year-old is now 10lb below his last winning mark and offered more encouragement at Chester last time. Mister Bluebird arrives in good form and is feared most, ahead of C&D winner La Maquina, who finished a respectable fourth at York recently.
