Formscan  - An eye-catcher when keeping on well for third on her return over 1m at Kempton last month, UNREAL CONNECTION has a strong staying pedigree on her dam's side and should be well suited by going up in trip. The daughter of Calyx gets the vote ahead of the recent Epsom winner Portsmouth, who has a 6lb penalty to overcome for that taking success. Show Biz Kid (third) has three-and-a-half lengths to make up from that contest but should not be discounted.
