Formscan  - It will be disappointing if BIGLESISBACK can't get off the mark in what looks to be a very winnable race on paper. Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore's mare finished second on her three starts prior to pulling up at Ayr last time and is taken to bounce back. Mister R finished fourth on debut in a Kelso race that has worked out well and is entitled to step forward from that experience. Mcelhattan may benefit from first-time cheekpieces.
