Formscan - Harry Cobden has struck up a good partnership with J J Moon and the six-year-old made a successful handicap debut at Newton Abbot, but BLUE CARPET is the one who steps outside of maiden/novice company now and has any amount for scope for improvement. He hardly broke sweat to land the odds at Wetherby and an initial mark of 118 seems generous. Diamond Ri remains a smart prospect and returns from the sidelines for an in-form stable, while Thunder Rock is well treated in this sphere and can go well fresh.
