Formscan  - Saint Segal has been revitalised since a change to front-running tactics resulted in a win over C&D in December and he arrives following a solid effort to finish third in the Greatwood Gold Cup. Another bold bid is expected, but a chance is given to THEATRE MAN. The nine-year-old wasn't at his best in the early part of the season, but a wind operation and a falling handicap mark might see him bounce back. Others to note are Bob Bob Ricard and Real Stone.
