Formscan  - INK BLACK HEART made a pleasing introduction at Wincanton in January of last year before chasing a subsequent Listed winner home at Wetherby on his stable bow in December. There are a few that could trouble the selection, namely Fine Tuning, but his form is by far the strongest on offer and minimal progress might suffice. The 130,000-euro purchase River Kwai warrants a market check ahead of his debut, while similar applies to point winner Eastern Rock.
