Formscan  - Project Geofin bounced back to form at Pontefract last month and given the stiff nature of the course was suggested as a prompt for the improved effort, there is a doubt about him following up on this more galloping track. Last-start course winner ABSOLUTE STAR has no doubts on that level and, open to progression, she shades preference stepping up from a mile off 5lb higher. Pol Roger and Giselles Defence complete the shortlist.
