Formscan  - It could pay to stick with HEART ABOVE, given Dianne Sayer's charge usually saves his best for this track. He returned the ready winner over a longer trip here last month and Charlie Maggs' allowance negates most of a 6lb rise. Star Of Guiting placed at Ludlow when last in action in May and debuts for his new yard with a shout, while Two Auld Pals' stable has won the last two renewals and he could shape well back over timber.
