Formscan - BETTER OFF ALONE showed the benefit of wind surgery when posting a much better effort on the heavy going at Uttoxeter. He could go close off an unchanged mark with the addition of blinkers promising to bring about further improvement. Royal Mer is mostly consistent and could land a blow, despite the burden of carrying top-weight, while Jack Black may cope with the testing conditions underfoot better than Joe Cotton.
