Formscan - DANDY KHAN outran odds of 50/1 to finish fourth over a mile here, but punters ignored the improvement and she popped up at 40/1 over C&D last week. She appeared to have something up her sleeve and might be able to force Chloe's Courage and Blue Empress to settle for supporting roles again. Groundsman offered encouragement when making the frame on his first appearance for the Mark Loughnane team and could be the primary threat.
