Formscan - INTERCESSOR made a pleasing return to turf when scoring by a length and a half over a mile here and he is only 4lb higher for that success. The seven-year-old struck over track and trip in September and he looks the one to beat again. Marsh Benham made the frame at Newmarket when last seen in November and it would be no surprise if he could get involved off a 2lb lower mark. Uncle Dick also holds an obvious chance after his triumph over a mile here recently.
