Formscan - Competitive for the grade and Aim For The Bull has work to do if he is to confirm his Kempton superiority over Timely Affair on marginally worse terms. Shades Of May also arrives in winning form, although he does seem to save his best for Chelmsford. Brother Dave has been holding his form well, while Hannah's Return isn't without a chance, but JUST KING HIGH beat a subsequent winner to the runner-up berth at Wolverhampton and can go one better on his first appearance for the Ross Burdon team.
