Formscan  - BIBENDUM showed what he is capable of when breaking well at Wolverhampton last time out, and he is likely to build on that promising effort off an unchanged rating. He can get off the mark ahead of Darlo Pride, who bounced back to form with a runner-up effort at Southwell recently. Strong Johnson's last success came over C&D a year ago and he must be noted, along with Castan and Delagate This Lord.
