Formscan - Tiger Crusade was able to exploit a lower turf mark to score at Brighton in June and is respected following a break, as is Society Man, who should benefit from a strong pace likely to be set by Mc Loven. Intervention should not be underestimated, but stable companion COUNSEL gets the nod. Mick Appleby's gelding won in comfortable fashion over C&D recently and a 4lb penalty is unlikely to stop him.
