Formscan  - DISTINCTION returned to something like his best when scoring easily over 1m2f at Pontefract a week ago. The son of Kodiac remains on a winning mark, despite carrying 4lb extra, and will be perfectly at home on the likely soft ground. Poet's Dawn won on soft going here last term and recent placed efforts suggest he could be thereabouts at the finish, while Hamilton winner Swift Salian also merits consideration.
