Formscan  - HAFEET ALAIN was an impressive winner on his seasonal return at Sandown in May and, given the strength of that form, it would be no surprise to see him score again on his first start since. The recent C&D winner Cerulean Bay is an obvious threat despite a 5lb rise, while his stablemate Theoryofeverything should not be underestimated. The shortlist is completed by Alpha Crucis, Brighton Boy and Native American.
