Formscan - GOLDMOYNE and Packetofbiscuits are both seeking hat-tricks, but the former makes most appeal after his Newcastle triumph on Friday. James Owen's charge made every yard of the running on that occasion and it would be no surprise to see him repeat that feat. Bee My Honey shed her maiden tag at Chelmsford on her most recent start and commands respect on just her second appearance in handicap company.
