Formscan - GOLDEN WHISKY was well beaten over an inadequate 1m7f on his return to action at Wetherby last month, but the Evan Williams-trained nine-year-old will be much happier over this distance. He landed the corresponding event from a 2lb higher mark last year (1lb out of the handicap now) and he receives a tentative vote as he bids to retain his crown. Recent C&D winner Enzo D'Airy demands the utmost respect, as do Fugitif and Silver Hallmark.
