Formscan - The combination of a two-month break and step up in distance worked the oracle for surprise Catterick winner Bollin Neil and he warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, he hasn't proved the most consistent in the past and preference is for IT'S DAN. The seven-year-old displayed the benefit of a wind procedure when second over an inadequate 2m at Ayr and a return to this distance could prove fruitful. Coral Blue is worth a second look too.
