Formscan - With most of these having questions to answer, the clear pick is KAZAR FOREZ. The six-year-old won on his third start for Micky Hammond at Newcastle and a 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up in this company. The switch to handicaps should help My My My Delilah, while Expelliarmus is next best.
