Formscan  - Victoria Falls has been in excellent form recently and she merits the utmost respect, as does Vindobala, who must saddle a 5lb penalty having won over C&D three days ago. Preference, however, is for the Grant Tuer-trained BICEP. He took his record on the all-weather to 2-2 when winning over 7f here a fortnight ago and a subsequent 5lb rise should not prevent him from mounting another stern challenge.
