Formscan  - OUR ABSENT FRIENDS won over C&D in December before returning off a 5lb higher mark and finishing second to an in-form rival last Tuesday. A repeat of that display would make him tough to beat. Emperor's Son scored at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and has to be respected based on that performance. Others to consider are I Need Your Love and Latin Five.
