Formscan  - Ignition shaped with plenty of promise when third over 7f on his nursery debut here in October and, stepping back in trip off 2lb higher, he should be able to make his presence felt once more. That said, it may pay to take a chance on GREY OPERATIONS. He didn't cut much ice on his three qualifying runs but, sporting first-time cheekpieces on his first run since being gelded, connections will be disappointed if this 150,000-pound son of Havana Grey didn't have a part to play on his nursery bow. Causin A Commotion looks the pick of the remainder.
