Formscan - Recent Newbury winner Mahler Moon should be a key player off just 4lb higher and were it not for his tendency to jump right, he would be a solid option. However, it may be worth honing in on BORN IN THE WEST, who has bags of scope as a stayer and could be tough to reel in if allowed to dominate on the front end. The hat-trick seeking Elusiveness is another shortlisted contender, despite a 7lb rise for her latest success.
