Formscan  - Classical Allusion was far from disgraced in second behind Constitution Hill over 1m4f at Kempton last month and is of interest stepping up in distance on his handicap bow. Maxident struck in heavy conditions at Ffos Las when last seen and is another to consider, but POLE STAR might be the one. Charlie Johnston's charge competes off an appealing rating on his return to action after being gelded and the booking of William Buick is noteworthy.
