Formscan  - MUNSIF has caught the eye on multiple occasions over hurdles in recent months and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark over timber now switched to handicap company. Mojito Des Mottes is another likely to benefit from entering handicaps and he should not be underestimated. Senator (first) and Macshadow Des Crai (second) are closely matched based on their Market Rasen encounter last month and both make the shortlist as a result.
