Formscan - ALMEKAREM returned to form with a good second at Salisbury and compensation could be on the cards. That was only the four-year-old's fifth start on turf and a 2lb nudge up in the ratings looks more than workable. Perfect Scoundrel arrives on the back of a C&D victory, although a 6lb rise does demand more of Amanda Perrett's charge. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from Double Red, who scored here at a similar time last year.
