Formscan - DUE DATE posted a number of solid efforts before getting no run whatsoever at Windsor. With a line put through that latest performance, and returning to a venue where he has won twice in the past, he is fancied to play a leading role. Invincible Navy has struck the crossbar on his last couple of starts and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Dubai Magic cannot be ruled out either.
