Formscan - EMPIRESTATEOFMIND found the competition too hot upped in class at Haydock last month, but he looks worth another chance back at this level. The eight-year-old scored twice in this grade at Ayr in September and won't mind any further cut in the ground. Ablon returned the ready winner over 1m3f at Kempton recently and this shorter trip is not an issue, while Tolstoy and Cavallo Pazzo are others with a shout.
