Formscan  - Star Of Markinch appeared to improve for the introduction of cheekpieces when finishing second over an extended 1m4f here. Gary Rutherford's mare isn't taken lightly reverting to 1m6f, but SEA MASTER looks a more solid proposition. The five-year-old only found a subsequent winner too strong on his latest effort at this course and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Falaise Blanc completes the shortlist.
