Formscan  - CYRANO DE BERGERAC makes his handicap debut carrying top weight - minus Luke Catton's claim - but a rating of 81 seems fair enough after he got off the mark by three lengths at Nottingham. The form of that race is open to question, but the Palace Pier colt could do no more than put them to the sword with a front-running performance. Hot And Cold might try to take him on from the start after being beaten a head over shorter at Ascot, while Blue Noon can chase them home.
