Formscan - MAGNIFICENT BEN went down narrowly at Lingfield last month and a 4lb rise for that career-best effort may not be enough to stop him from going one better here. Bebraveforglory would hold strong claims on his penultimate effort when successful at Stratford, while Calvinist is another to note. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Ambion Hill, Imperial Joe and Just Go For It.
