Formscan  - Magellan Cloud ran a blinder to finish second from a less favourable draw over C&D last month and is an attractive proposition given the winner of that race went on to further success at Epsom last Saturday. However, TOPTEAM overcame an even wider stalls position when won over track-and-trip at the same fixture. Having posted a slightly better time figure, Andrew Balding's colt shades the vote. Raulin and Neardown complete the shortlist.
