Formscan - Having been edged out by a subsequent winner at Taunton, COLONIAL EMPIRE looks ready to rule his rivals. The nine-year-old is entitled to strip fitter for that first appearance in 189 days and a 2lb nudge up the ratings is surmountable. Wetherby third Asa merits respect on this quick turnaround and shouldn't be far away if performing to a similar level, while dual course winner Born In The West isn't easily dismissed either.
