Formscan  - Al Najashi merits the utmost respect having won all three handicap starts impressively. He struck at Wolverhampton last week by 13 lengths, but is now on a 16lb higher mark. As a result, marginal preference is for MAYNORA, who was only beaten a nose over C&D last month and a 1lb rise is not a concern. Ocean Of Storms and Norcross Brow complete the shortlist.
