Formscan  - Having secured a ninth career victory at Wolverhampton, Bomb Squad merits respect in his bid to follow up. However, a 2lb higher mark does demand close to a career-best performance from the veteran and HABRDI may prove to be slightly better treated. Ruth Carr's gelding arrives on the back of a close-up third at Southwell and a 1lb nudge up the ratings might prove lenient. Jkr Cobbler is also of interest dropping in class.
