Formscan  - Meatloaf could go off a worthy favourite after he scored at Wincanton by three lengths. He looks likely to go well again, but SHINJI really caught the eye when strolling home at Fakenham and is having his first start for new connections here. He could prove to be the value call in a fascinating contest, while Market Rasen winner Fiercely Proud and Frankel gelding Polemon are others to consider.
