Formscan  - HIGHFIELD VIKING should strip fitter for his lacklustre reappearance effort at Chelmsford and, sporting blinkers for the first time off 2lb higher than his last winning mark, he may be tough to stop. Ey Up Its Jazz was last seen finishing an excellent second behind a subsequent winner over C&D in September and he can give the selection most to think about. Russco is one of the likely pace angles in the race and even though his winless run is mounting up, he appears weighted to strike soon.
