Formscan  - A tentative vote goes NORTHERN EXPRESS, who caught the eye when keeping on late over 1m in the Clipper at York last week. Michael Dods' charge has dropped back to a mark 4lb lower than his last win, which may be enough to see off unexposed class-dropper Strong Warrior and Rhythm Master, who was a comfortable winner over C&D on his penultimate start. Bobby Bennu and Desert Falcon may also have a say in proceedings.
