Mon 31st Aug

Formscan  - It's hard to get away from FRENCH AFFAIR, who remained unbeaten since joining the Jennie Candlish yard when successful over 6f at Redcar earlier in the month. He is just 3lb higher now and this extra furlong shouldn't pose him any problems. Silver Trumpet won over C&D two starts ago and if reproducing that level of form, he ought to have a say. Dapper Guest completes the shortlist.
