Formscan - All of these have claims, but none more so than last year's winner NEMEAN LION. Kerry Lee's gelding also claimed the National Spirit at Fontwell and was far from disgraced when a close third in the Fighting Fifth on his return in November. That level of form may well be good enough, although Potters Charm should not be discounted back at this sort of trip. The seven-year-old ran well in the Long Walk and this is arguably his easiest task in quite a while. Take No Chances is another who may be better off now dropped back from 3m.
