Formscan - This intriguing contest can go the way of OXYGEN, who was by no means disgraced when fifth at Lingfield last time out. The French recruit remains unexposed and it would be no surprise if a mark of 116 underestimated his ability. He gets the nod, while Cawthorne Lad can mount a bold bid following a respectable effort when fourth at Chepstow last month. Spanish Present drops in class following a disappointing run at Cheltenham in October and also warrants consideration.
