Formscan - PJANOO scored on his penultimate start at Windsor before following that up with a solid fourth at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for Richard Spencer's colt to get his head back in front. His stable companion The City's Phantom will go well if able to replicate his third in a valuable handicap at Epsom in June, while a set of blinkers may see Promoter in a better light.
