Formscan  - The value may lie with OXAGON, whose runner-up effort in the Champagne at Doncaster has been well franked by the first and third going on to score at ParisLongchamp last weekend, including at Group One level. An easy winner at Sandown before that, the son of Frankel should be able to handle the undulations of the Rowley Mile, with Gstaad put forward as the primary threat following another close-run thing at the top level last month. Aidan O'Brien's colt is taken to overturn that National Stakes form with the highly progressive Zavateri, while Distant Storm improved from his Acomb third to score impressively over C&D and is another to consider.
