Formscan  - BYSTANDER was sent off odds-on for his debut for Simon & Ed Crisford in April and ran very green to finish stone last. The son of Dark Angel has since switched to the Karl Burke stable and was a 150,000gns purchase as a yearling, so it would be no surprise to see him leave his introduction behind and get his head in front today with that experience under his belt. Yasmina has been off the track for over a year after her second at Kempton behind a nice type in Slipofthepen and she could have a say on her return to action for the George Boughey yard. Of the remainder, August makes the most appeal with an official rating of 74.
