Formscan  - Samui has few miles on the clock and he took another step forward when finishing second in a valuable staying handicap at the Ebor Festival recently. The application of first-time cheekpieces (to go with the usual tongue-tie) could eke out more from him, although CAIUS CHORISTER looks the one to beat. David Menuisier's mare has grown accustomed to plying her trade at a higher level and, having shown more than enough when fourth in the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood last time out, she can exploit this drop in class. Last year's Ebor hero Absurde heads the remainder.
