Formscan  - In an intriguing contest it may pay to side with NOVAK, who keeps on pulling out more as he rises up the handicap and is looking for his four-timer. The seventh furlong may suit him even better and he can see off Black Friday, who is dropped in class off what looks a favourable mark. Gainsbourg did win last time and is hard to ignore, while American Affair is also of some interest on his better form.
