Formscan  - DROP KICK won over 2m4f here on his penultimate start and wasn't disgraced in finishing second in a rough race over track and trip last month. Nudged up 1lb, the son of Wings Of Eagles can make his course experience count. The recent Southwell winner Always A Reason also commands respect off just 3lb higher. Shadow Chaser made a promising debut for Sandy Thomson at Ayr last month and his match-fitness makes him an appealing alternative.
