Formscan - RAP SOUL won with plenty in hand over C&D last month and looks progressive enough to deal with a 12lb rise. Carpe Diem is an obvious threat based what he has shown since reverting to racing under Rules. He should go well if there is enough give in the ground to bring the best out of him, while Lunar Ocean is another to note.
