Formscan - A fairly open contest in which marginal preference is for POKER MASTER. A game winner over this C&D last month, a 5lb raised mark may not be enough to stop him from following up and he gets on so well with Tom Buckley. Hillfinch was not disgraced behind Mullenbeg at Fakenham most recently and a 3lb lower figure can help her sneak closer into contention. Maid On The Moon remains relatively unexposed and should not be taken lightly.
