Formscan - XCITATIONS produced a more accomplished performance when second at Leicester most recently and Pam Sly's veteran is worth another try from a competitive rating. Cobbler's Boy and Harel Du Marais won't need to find much to be on the premises in this company. However, Gaelic Rambler has his best days ahead and he could be a big danger on these terms.
