Formscan  - NOTLONGTILLMAY won his first three starts over fences, but he ran his best race in defeat when second to Stage Star here in March. If he has the speed for this trip, the seven-year-old could take some beating. Dancing On My Own is hard to ignore after his Listowel second when last seen in June, while the Warwick winner Haddex Des Obeaux has 10lb more from the handicapper here.
