Formscan  - CRACK SHOT made a winning return to action over a mile at Newmarket earlier in the month and a 5lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop this progressive son of Kingman going in again. Alzahir outran his odds when filling fourth over an extended 7f at Chester recently and he may still have more to offer on just his fourth start for these connections. Hiromichi and Regheeb are others with strong form claims, while Dual Identity has a very good record at this venue and completes the shortlist.
