Formscan  - I AM ME wasn't disgraced when fourth in a stronger event at Musselburgh earlier this month and the assessor may have been kind to drop him 1lb. Ed Bethell's colt sports first-time blinkers, which could eke out the improvement required to score. Mount King is a two-time C&D winner who lurks on an appealing rating and has to be respected. Of the remainder, Cosmos Raj makes the most appeal.
