Formscan  - Having finishing third on his return for the Dianne Sayer yard at Musselburgh last month, DETECTIVE makes plenty of appeal. That was the veteran's first appearance since November and any improvement could see him get his head back in front. The biggest threat may emerge from recent Ayr runner-up Starliner, who races off an unchanged mark, while the down-in-class Epidavros can make her presence felt too.
