Formscan  - A switch to more forceful tactics saw a much improved display from last month's Carlisle scorer GERYVILLE. The eight-year-old looks more than capable of defying a 7lb rise in the ratings judged on that performance and he's taken to complete a double. African Dance clearly hasn't been the easiest to train, but he isn't taken lightly in his hat-trick bid after a 444-day absence. His stablemate Chasing Fire also has the form to feature.
