Formscan - Mersea Island readily took care of his nearest rival by just under five lengths at Southwell and may improve for this step up in trip. Even so, BAHADUR looks the way to go. The son of Make Believe made a winning handicap debut over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle, shaping as if he would relish this extra distance. This looks another good opportunity and he can remain unbeaten on the all-weather. Great Bedwyn is best of the rest.
