Formscan - A useful sort on the level, ANALOGICAL should have learned plenty from his opening third over hurdles at Uttoxeter last month. The son of Ulysses only gave way on the run-in and he should put that experience to good use. The biggest threat may emerge from Fontwell bumper winner The Perfect Poet, who found a Grade 2 at the Aintree Festival too much. Rules debutant Ballyboy Prince could also figure for leading connections.
