Formscan - CHER MONSIEUR gained a first victory at Newcastle in January and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the six-year-old were able to improve further with first-time cheekpieces applied. Harbour Light took a step forward when filling the runner-up spot on his handicap bow at Chepstow and the extra distance should be in his favour. Ballyhiho appeals most of the remainder.
