Formscan  - RICARDO PHILLIPS, Fighting Poet and Foinix are all bidding for a double, but preference is for the first-named after his Leicester triumph. The Henry Candy-trained four-year-old only has a 1lb higher rating to contend with and could kick on now. Fighting Poet travelled powerfully when scoring comfortably over 1m2f here and won't have any problems with this step back up in distance, so he rates as the main danger.
