Formscan - MARHABA THE CHAMP was value for more than the winning margin when scoring on his first go over this distance at York last time out, and he can overcome the burden of top weight to follow up under Ryan Moore. Kevin Ryan's charge is preferred to Kempton scorer Tenerife Sunshine and Spectacular Style, who could not have done it any easier at Hamilton and now makes his handicap debut. Splendent and Victory Dance have the form to get involved as well.
