Formscan - Whilst many of these arrive with something to prove, it might pay to side with IF NOT FOR DYLAN. The 11-year-old has yet to really fire this term but his latest Wetherby effort wasn't without promise and having won this contest from an identical mark 12 months ago, he could take the necessary step forward. Fenland Tiger struggled in the Tommy Whittle last month but is a previous winner of this race himself, and the drop in class ought to be beneficial. The Big Breac completes the shortlist.
