Formscan  - Diamand De Vindecy enters the reckoning after a wide-margin success at Pontefract, despite needing to post another career best on the Flat running off an 8lb higher mark. However, there is also a lot to like about FORZA ORTA, who stays the trip well and is a slightly more attractive proposition off 6lb lower than his last winning mark. Artisan Dancer should also be competitive.
