Formscan  - Having returned to form when runner-up to a progressive rival at Kempton last month, KOCKTAIL BLEU ticks plenty of the right boxes. The pair drew 15 lengths clear of the third and a similar performance from the six-year-old might prove sufficient. They Want Me scored a shade cosily over C&D in December and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of fellow penalised runner Kaka's Cousin.
