Formscan  - TOBETSO did just what was required to get off the mark for his current yard in a similar contest at Ripon last month and, with Zak Wheatley more than cancelling out the 4lb higher mark with his claim, this is a good opportunity for the Declan Carroll-trained gelding to strike while the iron is still hot. Dark Desire is another with bags of scope for improvement, while previous winners of this race Tommy G and Ventura Rascal are also dangerous to rule out.
