Formscan  - Crambo returned to form when taking his second Long Walk shortly before Christmas and he has to be respected on the back of that performance. However, the strength of that form can be questioned and a chance is taken on STRONG LEADER. Olly Murphy's gelding disappointed when last at Ascot, but a subsequent wind operation suggests that better can be expected. The eight-year-old was an eyecatching third in this race 12 months ago and he is the one to beat if back to his best. The rest all need to improve, but Gowel Road and Monmiral are capable of making the frame.
