Formscan  - CABALLO DE MAR has really flourished since being stepped to this sort of trip and a fifth consecutive success may be forthcoming if the progressive four-year-old copes with another 6lb rise on just his second start on Polytrack. Recent novice stakes winner Liam Swagger is versatile and has a big chance of spoiling the part for the selection, while fellow last-time-out winners Steel Tiger and Cardano also boast strong credentials.
