Formscan - Benign Dictator failed to run to form when seventh at Newbury but if he reacts positively to first-time blinkers, he is more than capable of a bold effort. However, KARMA POLICE steps up in distance after a 19-length second at Newbury off his current mark and, as a point-to-point winner over 3m, he could take the necessary step forward. Gwennie May Star is an interesting alternative on his first start for Christian Williams.
