Formscan - JAMESIECONN turns out quickly following his recent Newcastle success under a 7lb penalty. However, this doesn't look a particularly strong contest on paper and Nicky Richards' gelding may prove capable of backing that performance up. Amazing Cleni left behind his disappointing chase debut effort when getting off the mark at Leicester and he should be competitive. I See The Sea appeals more than Jongleur D'etoiles of the remainder.
