Formscan - With plenty of early pace on offer this could be run to suit TRUE PROMISE. Fionn McSharry's gelding has been knocking at the door for some time now and he was a little unfortunate at Newcastle a fortnight ago, having been short of room passing the two-furlong marker. A drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and this looks a good opportunity. Birkenhead, Street Life and Ay Gee Ell are all capable, but they'll all want to be at the head of affairs.
