Formscan  - This represents a drop in class for CRISTO, which may be enough for the 83-rated gelding to blow this seller apart if he is anywhere near his best. A tongue-tie and visor combination was instrumental in Zoffandia returning to winning ways at Kempton last week and he should be another key player if the retained headgear has the same impact. Hitched and Good Banter are still dangerous to rule out, despite their best all-weather form being posted elsewhere.
