Formscan  - I FOLLOW RIVERS wasn't able to justify favouritism when behind Hype Merchant (second) on his reappearance at Chelmsford recently. It was still a pleasing return to action, though, and he's expected to reverse that form with the run under his belt. Sharon Curly kept on well for fourth over 6f at Catterick last time out and this extra furlong may well spark further improvement.
