Formscan - BIG BLUE MOON accounted for his nearest rival by just over a length in this grade at Hereford earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to only raise him 4lb for that triumph. Tom Lacey's seven-year-old could still be improving and he can complete the hat-trick. The main threat might be Touchy Feely, who finished fourth at this level at Aintree last time and she could get into contention off a 1lb lower mark, while McGowan's Pass hit the frame at Southwell on his latest outing and he also has to be respected.
