Formscan - This isn't as deep as the Ludlow contest in which POTTERS PARTY bolted up in three weeks ago and he is expected to take all the beating. The main threat might come from Phantoms Cave, who was by no means disgraced behind an easy winner at Kelso last month. Deerstalker arrives following a brace of victories between the flags and is most appealing of the remainder.
