Formscan  - Bruce Banner sprung a 33/1 surprise at Musselburgh in November and is out to prove that was no fluke, but he might find it tough to give his penalty away to KEYBOARD. Adam Nicol's gelding has found one too good in each of his three timber starts, including behind Bruce Banner in that Musselburgh contest, but looks to have been found a good opportunity to go one better. It's highly unlikely Vivre Le Reve gave his true running at Wetherby and he isn't one to write off.
