Formscan  - LAUNCESTON was sent off the strong favourite upped to 1m2f here on his belated reappearance. He found one too good on that occasion, but this extra test of stamina will play to his strengths and Sir Mark Prescott's charge can make amends. Offiah's Boy won over C&D last month and is only 2lb higher. He can have a say in the outcome and is marginally preferred to Black Smoke, who has been in fine form over longer trips of late.
