Formscan - An open event which could go the way of MR ALAN, who got back on track with a narrow success at Nottingham 16 days ago. George Boughey's charge must compete off 3lb higher today, but he was a creditable fifth in the November Handicap from 1lb lower last year and will have no problem with forecast ground conditions. Torcello seldom runs poorly around here and must be given the utmost respect, while others to note include the returning Carzola and handicap debutant Kardia.
