Formscan  - ALAFDHAL made it three wins from his last four starts when scoring over C&D and Phil McEntee's gelding is taken to continue his excellent run of form. Sam's Xpress is turned out under a 5lb penalty following his Lingfield victory just before Christmas and looks an obvious threat to the selection. Havana Gila and Son Of Astar can fight it out for the placings.
