Formscan  - TASHAN showed the benefit of his seasonal debut at Chepstow when he got back to winning ways with a tenacious effort at Exeter. With the promise of more to come, this could be within the reach of Emma Lavelle's progressive four-year-old. There are dangers aplenty, however, and the likes of The Hardest Geezer and the returning Let It Rain, along with fellow last-time-out winners Non Stop and He's A Latchico, all have plenty to offer in a wide-open event.
