Formscan  - Both Stratocracy and Crown's Lady have been in excellent form recently and must enter calculations, as must Beaming Light, who hit the woodwork when attempting to complete a four-timer at Doncaster most recently. However, it might pay to side with RASCAL RECKNELL. The gelded son of Wootton Bassett took a giant leap forward to score on his first start for Mick Appleby in June and given that he remains well treated from 2lb higher, there should be more in the locker.
