Formscan - CARGIN BHUI has failed to justify favouritism twice already in 2026, but he was only just denied at Wolverhampton and then raced wider than ideal at Southwell on Tuesday. He is clearly in good heart and can reward those who keep the faith. Blue Lakota found only one too good over 5f here on New Year's Day, although that form has already taken a knock and Expert Agent might be the bigger danger off an ever-decreasing mark. True Promise is another to consider.
