Formscan - A switch to more aggressive tactics saw INITIAL BLUE make all over 6f at Kempton recently. A 3lb nudge up the ratings looks workable and a return to 5f shouldn't prevent another bold showing from the four-year-old. Level Up arrives on the back of a close-up second at Bath and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Winchurch.
