Formscan  - Two Tempting won this off 1lb lower 12 months ago and has claims again. However, he has something to find with GOLDEN MIND based on their encounter in the Shergar Cup Mile at Ascot. Richard Fahey's gelding came out of that race to score gamely in the Racing League at Newcastle last week and a 2lb rise isn't insurmountable. The low-mileage El Burhan and dual course winner Al Shabab Storm complete the shortlist.
