Formscan  - Military Cross has had plenty of chances now and this frustrating gelding might have to settle for second again, behind SIOUXFONIC. A bumper winner at Sedgefield, James Owen's charge finished a neck second at Southwell on his first start on the Flat last month - suggesting this extra furlong would really suit. Caliban is best of the rest in this maiden.
