Formscan  - DR T J ECKLEBURG won this last year for Evan Williams and showed signs of a return to his best when a five-length third at Sandown off this mark last month. Rated 5lb higher last season, he looks to have every chance of retaining his crown under Conor Ring. Jaipaletemps failed in his hat-trick bid after a bad mistake at Uttoxeter but would be a player again with a clear round, though Martator was going well before unseating at Sandown and could prove the biggest danger.
