Formscan  - Having jumped out to his left at Ludlow 22 days ago, Whizz Kid should be much happier reverting to a left-handed track. The nine-year-old merits strong consideration in this small-field affair, but HALF SHOT is a touch more compelling. Iain Jardine's charge arrives on the back of a fair third at Kelso and a 2lb drop in the ratings may prove fruitful. C&D winner Arthur's Quay is the pick of the rest.
