Formscan  - Don Cantillon doesn't have many in his care but it's extremely interesting that he targets the same bumper won 12 months ago by American Empire. The Newmarket-handler sends ROYAL MARCH this time around who, on paper at least, looks to have a fair chance. Nicky Henderson's filly Numero Ventotto merits the utmost respect, as does Doncaster runner-up Batchelor's Lad. Sea Lord is James Tate's first ever runner in this sphere and he warrants a market check with that in mind.
