Formscan  - It looked a decent Aintree bumper that MOLLY'S LAD finished second in on debut and it would be no surprise if he went one better here under a more positive ride. Solly's Gold won well at Wetherby and warrants respect, although he's up in class. Roximan is entitled to have come forward for his Wincanton effort and is respected for a top yard, while the winner of that race Bailly's Comet also comes into calculations.
