Formscan  - It is hard to get away from the James Owen-trained KING OTIS, who shoulders a 7lb penalty after making all on his stable bow at Plumpton recently. Conditional Jamie Gambin effectively negates that rise with his 10lb claim and the seven-year-old should take all the beating. The selection will likely encounter more arduous conditions in this contest, which may offer some hope to handicap debutant Smart Casual, while Merry Dreamer is worth noting in the market having changed stables.
