Formscan - Circus Of Rome travelled best of all before kicking clear to record an emphatic success at Newcastle last month. Richard Hughes' progressive gelding merits respect, but he is 11lb higher back on turf and it might pay to side with GRAN DESCANS. The son of Frankel was second in that contest, but he had to challenge on the unfavoured far side and looks sure to close the gap on these revised terms. Returning to this C&D should suit Pole Star and he can't be overlooked.
