Formscan - In an open event, marginal preference is for STATE OF MADNESS. Charlie Clover's gelding was an eye-catching close third over 6f at Kempton three weeks ago and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. The recent Wolverhampton winner Vince Lombardi is an obvious danger now just 1lb higher, while Lequinto edges out Blue Lakota and Jesse Luc to be next best.
