Formscan - A confident vote goes to KELVIN FORLONGE, who made a mockery of his opening mark to score over C&D at the start of December. He was raised 6lb for that performance, but conditions might not be too dissimilar here. He's completely unexposed at this sort of trip and is expected to take another step forward. Irish raider Gather Yourself merits the utmost respect in the hands of Sean Bowen, while Shoeshine Boy wouldn't be without a chance if putting a recent fall behind him.
