Formscan - LOOKING SPLENDID has really thrived since returning from his seasonal rest and he's on a hat-trick now following back-to-back October wins at Kelso and Carlisle. A 5lb rise is potentially lenient and his supporters will be pleased to see the excellent Dylan Johnston keeps the ride. Of the others, Summergrounds shoulders top-weight but will be fancied by many to at least make the frame, while C&D winner Parisian Fashion is noteworthy, especially if there is money around for her on her reappearance.
