Formscan  - ADVANCING justified strong support in the market when scoring with something in hand over C&D last month. That was the four-year-old's first appearance for current connections and a 7lb rise looks tolerable. Hitched appears close to his best judged on his narrow defeat at Lingfield and he may give Advancing most to think about, ahead of Rajapour, who didn't enjoy the best of runs behind the selection last time out.
