Formscan  - CALL ME ARTHUR and Bataillon both won on their latest outings, but ready preference is for the former after his romp at Huntingdon. Tom Lacey's gelding relished the step back up in distance that day and if in similar form, he could prove hard to beat. Jongleur D'etoiles put his unseat two starts ago well behind him when outrunning his odds to finish second over C&D in December and commands respect.
