Formscan  - LIPSINK overcame an awkward start to run out a ready winner at Wolverhampton last month and, upped 5lb, he gets the nod to bring up a double. The formerly very smart Acklam Express is an obvious contender back off his last winning mark, while Dark Kestrel lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third at Newcastle and he is respected most out of the remainder.
