Formscan  - This can go the way of APPIER, who wasn't beaten far when last in action at Wolverhampton and his record on the grass makes for good reading. The son of Holy Roman Emperor gets the vote ahead of the unexposed Highlighter and Claritudo, who is 5lb above his last winning mark and should be suited by the drop in trip.
