Formscan  - THE DEFIANT justified strong support when winning with something in hand over C&D and Daniel Steele's seven-year-old is hard to oppose off 5lb higher. Democracy Dilemma hasn't been disgraced on turf of late and is expected to remain competitive now reverting to the all-weather off 2lb lower. May Sonic could also get involved now dropped into a 0-90 contest and completes the shortlist.
