Formscan  - ALEX THE GREAT boasts the most compelling recent form and should have no issues reverting to Tapeta after a win and a third-placed finish on Polytrack at Kempton. Allied to that, the talented Jack Doughty retains the ride and his 3lb claim is a prized asset. Star Of Markinch, who was a respectable third over C&D on her penultimate start, is feared most back over this trip. Man Of Riddles also rates a player.
