Formscan - Double Time, Havana Touch and Ernie's Valentine are all on workable ratings, but they have their flaws and none is without risk. AL HOFZAN is a far less-exposed contender who won't need to raise his game much after posting a respectable effort over 7f on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton. Running off the same mark, Georgina Nicholls' gelding gets the vote based on potential.
