Formscan - Bring On The Night hasn't been seen since chasing home the talented Coltrane in this race last year and he looks a worthy favourite from 4lb higher, in what is teed up to be a typically wide-open renewal. A Listed winner over timber on his latest outing, Ahorsewithnoname merits respect back in this sphere, while Law Of The Sea, who is now 1lb better off with his Haydock conqueror Solent Gateway, can be in the thick of things too. Preference, however, is for NOVEL LEGEND. Second to the reopposing Zinc White in last month's Chester Plate, James Fanshawe's unexposed stayer is taken to reverse that form and confirm earlier promise shown over this marathon trip.
