Formscan  - From a competitive rating, OPERA KING could get off the mark on just his fourth run in handicap company. Having failed to fire with a visor added in a deeper race last time out, swapping to cheekpieces may be a source of improvement for the son of Australia, who might represent some value in a wide-open contest. Our Dylan is feared most off 2lb higher than last month's narrow defeat at Hereford. John Betjeman has course experience and is also weighted to go well.
