Formscan - Scenario must be respected having won a similar event here earlier in the month, but even a 2lb rise asks more of her now. As a result, preference is for R P MCMURPHY, who won here in December and has gone close when third off this mark the last twice. How's The Guvnor has also been running well in defeat of late and completes the shortlist.
