Formscan  - JAMES WEBB paid for his inexperience in the closing stages when second over 1m2f at Redcar last month and he can go one better today. Sir Michael Stoute's charge has shaped as if a win is just around the corner in his three starts to date, finishing second on his last two outings, and today can be the day to shed his maiden tag. Redhot Whisper is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection after a good third in a valuable handicap at Epsom last time, while Yosemite Gold is a son of Golden Horn and looks a newcomer to consider.
