Formscan - SARATOGA GOLD arrives in search of a hat-trick having won comfortably over C&D last time, and a 5lb rise shouldn't stop him from going close again if in anything like the same form. The son of Mayson is fancied to repel the likely challenge of Tartan Chief, who was unlucky when narrowly beaten at Newbury last weekend. Eloso appeared to relish the step up in trip when successful here last month and he may have more to offer in first-time blinkers.
