Formscan  - ASTAPOR arrives in excellent form having won two of his last three starts, with his latest effort coming at Pontefract on Sunday, and it would be no surprise to see him back up again under a 5lb penalty. Ecclesiastical has been very consistent of late and is respected following his second at York last week, with Speedacus, who finished seventh in that contest, another that is capable of a decent showing.
