Formscan  - This represents a drop in grade for BRAVE NATION, who looked outpaced in Listed company at York when last seen in August. He was well beaten in a Group 2 at Newmarket on his penultimate outing and can bounce back here. Safari Dream hasn't been seen since finishing in mid-division in a sales race in October and could well improve, especially given he remains just 2lb above his last winning mark. Another to consider on his return to turf is Rocking Ends, who filled the runner-up spot at Kempton recently.
