Formscan - The handicapper appears to have caught up with Shalaa Asker, who was only fifth when on a hat-trick at Chelmsford, although he wasn't beaten all that far and can't be written off just yet. The application of a visor worked wonders for Toomuchforme at Newcastle and she is a contender if backing that effort for third up. Birkenhead usually runs his race, but I NEED YOUR LOVE has found only one too strong on each of his last two outings and deserves to get his head back in front.
