Formscan  - BIRKENHEAD was only narrowly denied when third over C&D a few weeks ago and it would be no surprise to see Paul Midgley's gelding play a leading role off the same mark here. Betweenthesticks has filled second place on both starts since winning at Pontefract in August and he is likely to go well once again. Others to note are Equity Law, Albegone and Thankuappreciate.
