Formscan  - OPTIK must concede weight all round having notched up a brace of Wolverhampton handicap successes, but this looks a golden opportunity for David Simcock's gelding to complete his hat-trick. Hot Team hasn't been all that far away in recent starts and he ought to appreciate this drop in class, while Quoteline Direct has been given a real chance on these terms and he heads the remainder.
