Formscan - IREZUMI only found a well-fancied rival too good over track and trip last time and competes off an unchanged rating. The five-year-old's sole career victory came at this venue and it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways. Sea Of Charm occupied the runner-up berth at Wolverhampton on her latest outing and is likely to be thereabouts, while Foinix completes the shortlist.
