Formscan - Dolphin Square, Call Me Lord and WILDE ABOUT OSCAR were the first three across the line in a series qualifier at Sandown last month and it could be worth siding with the latter given the way he was staying on near the finish. There is very little to split the trio on the revised terms but the selection edges a narrow vote of confidence on the basis he might improve over the trip. Last year's winner of this race Dolphin Square is rated as the main danger, although Thomas Darby is also considered.
