Formscan - Although underwhelming when pulled up on his handicap bow at Windsor, Great Fleet must enter calculations reverting to novice company. Wilstar is another who is likely to be in the mix after his Southwell success and is sure to prove popular with Sean Bowen back in the plate. However, the pair may struggle to concede 17lb to the four-year-old TALAKAN, who arrives on the back of a close-up second at Ludlow.
