Formscan - Legal Reform won a division of this last year and looks likely to have a say in proceedings once again. However, his recent third here suggests he's high enough in the weights now and it could pay to stick with DOWN TO THE KID. The latter has won three of his last four starts over C&D and a 2lb rise for his latest success may not be enough to anchor him. Eminency is preferred to Diamondonthehill of the rest.
