Formscan  - Beauty Choice, who took a division of this race 12 months ago, has occupied third spot on each of his two outings since scoring at Catterick, including in a warmer event at Haydock last time, so he is one to take seriously. However, it may pay to side with ORBITAL CHIME, who produced a good effort to make the frame at Epsom and the handicapper might have been kind to drop him 1lb for that performance. Wichahpi is another to keep an eye on.
