Formscan  - CAPTAIN BRUCE showed a big chunk of improvement when scoring over track and trip last month. The son of Awtaad is now 6lb higher but, considering the manner of that success, he can follow up. Imso Friendly finished third behind the selection on her most recent start and might get closer on the revised terms. Of the remainder, Hoe Benham makes the most appeal on her nursery bow.
