Formscan  - A determined winner of the Imperial Cup last month, GO DANTE looks to have been saved for another crack at this contest, having been slightly unlucky in running when short of room two out last year. A 5lb rise for his Sandown victory could prove lenient and he gets the vote ahead of Boodles runner-up Eagles Reign and fellow Irish raider Brucio, who was on a hat-trick when brought down early on at Kelso latest. Skycutter seems to be an improving sort for leading connections, while Ballee and Ted Hastings are others to consider.
