Formscan  - NOVEL LEGEND made a successful return to action when winning at Kempton last month and the James Fanshawe-trained son of Nathaniel, who remains open to plenty of improvement over marathon trips, is expected to continue his progression and repeat the dose. Aztec Empire is similarly unexposed and must enter calculations for his in-form yard. Vino Victrix, who struck the woodwork in last year's Cesarewitch from 3lb lower, should not be far away either.
