Formscan  - EXPLODE improved from first to second start when runner-up over 1m here last time out and the step up in trip may be just what is needed to see this son of Sottsass get off the mark for in-form connections. A disappointing favourite when weakening in the final furlong over further at Chester last month, The Pouncing Lion is capable of bouncing back after a gelding operation. Arjwan and Zaaeem look to be the pick of newcomers for leading owners.
