Formscan  - Aquitaine Boy posted several creditable efforts in defeat at the back end of last season and he must enter calculations on his return to action. However, Ruth Jefferson's veteran doesn't appear to be hiding anything from the assessor and it could be worth chancing handicap debutant TOP TIER GOSSIP. The daughter of Getaway appears to be on a workable mark and this step up in trip, \long with the application of first-time cheekpieces, could be the making of her. Looking Splendid is the pick of the remainder.
