Formscan - RISK IT ALL has filled second place on two of his last three starts and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the five-year-old to go one better. That said, Kill The Groove was a neck second over C&D two starts ago and she may benefit from the first-time application of cheekpieces. Kingston Bresil edges out My Lovely Horse to be best of the rest.
