Formscan - Many will fancy their chances in what looks a typically wide-open renewal, so only a tentative vote can go to BARADAR. George Boughey's gelding was arguably an unfortunate third in the Lincoln having been positioned on the wrong side of the track, and was luckless once again over this C&D in the Victoria Cup last month after being slowly away and short of room at a crucial stage. Biggles, who finished in front of the selection in second that day, has to be considered from an unchanged mark, along with the progressive Croupier. Second in this off 3lb lower last year, the loveable Ropey Guest could outrun his lengthy odds and makes each-way appeal. Montassib and Vafortino must also enter the reckoning, while Rhoscolyn finds himself on a workable mark judged on last season's exploits and should not be underestimated either.
