Formscan  - EZ TIGER made all to score in a similar contest at Worcester last month and, kept to the same level, a 4lb rise shouldn't be any barrier to further success. Ambassador has won the two previous renewals, the latest from 12lb higher, and he is entitled to the utmost respect. Papa Barns hit the woodwork on his first start for the Olly Murphy team last month and is another for the shortlist.
