Formscan  - Whitletts didn't live up to market expectations when introduced at Warwick last month and punters who keep the faith will be hoping she's improved plenty for it. Similar sentiments apply to Palma Springs, who represents another top yard but could only manage a moderate sixth at Huntingdon. With all that in mind, it could be worth chancing one of the newcomers and STROKE PLAY appeals most.
