Formscan - KILWAUGHTER got the better of a subsequent winner on his handicap bow at Newbury and is one to keep the right side of. The son of Milan is bred to relish this step up in trip and he could make light work of a 7lb rise. Red Risk shouldn't be far away judged on his best form this season and the veteran must not be underestimated, while Smokeringinthedark cannot be dismissed after his Newcastle triumph.
