FormscanBy Tom Weekes - FANCY RED DIAMOND returned from a 146 days break when finishing third recently and should progress. His initial form was poor but showed encouragement at Tramore in August. On his most recent run, he lost his position, dropping from mid-field to the rear, but finished well and should be more streetwise on this his second all-weather start. Rita Levi's big weight is offset by her rider's 10lb claim and she has been running consistently well in recent months. Stablemate Kartayaz has also been running consistently well and is just 2lb higher than when winning in November. Final Fantasy won three times on the all-weather in the UK, comes here in good form but steps up to this trip for the first time. French Company tries this trip, on the all-weather, for the first time while Mayan Son showed improved form here last month. Victory March was bogged down over hurdles at Christmas but has bits of useful course form.
