Formscan  - There could be an early battle for supremacy with the likes of Handstands, who defeated subsequent Arkle winner Jango Baie in the Scilly Isles, Caldwell Potter and the talented Dancing City all likely to adopt a prominent position. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on STELLAR STORY, who came from off the pace to finish second in the Brown Advisory last time out. That was a career best over fences for Gordon Elliott's charge and, should this pan out favourably, it would come as no surprise were he to go one place better. Quai De Bourbon should go well with a clear round.
