Formscan  - Beaten just a nose in this race last year, Gesskille has a live chance of going one place better off just a 5lb higher mark. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero picked up a Listed race in France with the gelding on his latest start and he can go well once again. However, FANTASTIC LADY was second in the Topham over C&D in April and gets the vote off just 4lb higher. Cooper's Cross and Born By The Sea complete the shortlist.
