Formscan - Falco Des Pins was sent off a shade of odds-on at Ludlow, but had to dig deep to justify it. He may have pulled out more if required, but a 6lb higher mark is still a concern and he is passed over in favour of GRAIN TRADE. The Billy Aprahamian-trained seven-year-old weakened over 2m3f at Market Rasen and is selected instead thanks to his previous second to a subsequent winner over an extended 2m at Huntingdon. Night Jet and Lucky Lugger took minor honours over C&D and little should separate them again.
