Formscan  - FRANCESI has done little wrong both here and at Lingfield the last twice despite only managing second. This likeable grey has been unlucky and is going to get back in the winning groove sooner rather than later, so perhaps he's the one who can end Aisling Oscar's long winning streak. Adrian Keatley has worked wonders with this progressive five-year-old and another bold showing looks assured following a gutsy Southwell win which made it eight on the bounce. The unexposed Inspired adds further spice to the race on his handicap debut.
