Formscan By John O'Riordan - A promising second on his recent stable debut, SATONO CHEVALIER can go one better. A three-time course and distance winner in the past, the eight-year-old had rather lost his way before shaping much better on his first start for Aidan Melia earlier this month. Provided that he can reproduce that effort, the son of Invincible Spirit looks the one to beat in this finale. Recent course winner Thompson Gunner has every chance if staying this trip and may prove to be the main threat if doing so. Church Mountain blotted his copybook here last week but would be a serious threat if on a going day.
