Formscan  - The versatile Spartan Times has solid claims based on recent form but much depends on how he handles being drawn out wide and whether he settles quickly enough to get into a rhythm. With that in mind, GREEN TEAM, who has Roodee experience, could be the safer option from a handier draw and just 2lb higher than his win at Thirsk two starts ago. Heathen and Percy Jones are others with a shout.
