Formscan - DUBLINOFFICECALLIN took a big step forward when scoring on his handicap debut over C&D a few weeks ago. A 5lb rise for that success may underestimate the five-year-old and he's hard to oppose as a result. Byron Hill made the frame at Sedgefield last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Gonnino is next best.
