Formscan  - With a plum draw in stall one, GISELLES DEFENCE, who has gone well here in the past, is the first one on the shortlist. Having made all at Epsom last week, a 3lb higher mark looks very manageable and may not be enough to stop him from following up. Fellow last-time winners Ey Up Its The Boss and Finn Russell also warrant close inspection, while Meblesh completes the shortlist.
