Formscan - General Assembly, Almaty Star and Michaela's Boy all bring a consistent level of form to proceedings and have to be respected. However, they like to get on with things and that may set it up for a closer in the shape of TAN RAPIDO. Charlie Fellowes' gelding won here off 1lb lower last July and has run well in the past when returning from a break. Nogo's Dream shouldn't be discounted based on his second at Lingfield two starts ago.
