Formscan  - WHIZZ KID returned from a 193-day break to score by over four lengths at Wetherby last month and he has only been put up 5lb in the ratings for that display. With that in mind, the seven-year-old could prove hard to stop. Brookie was a facile winner at Fontwell last time and has to be considered off a 6lb higher mark, while Sergeant Wilson could bounce back from his underwhelming effort at Southwell last time.
