Formscan  - CASTLE COVE arrives with strong claims on the back a Chester triumph on last month's reappearance and handicap debut. The son of Camelot beat the reopposing Grey Cuban in convincing style and is taken to defy a hike in the weights. The latter has subsequently franked that form, but the less-exposed Jolly Jack Tar may prove a bigger danger having returned the taking winner at Chelmsford last month. Defiance and last year's winner Take Heart are others to note.
