Formscan  - NICELY CURVED made an encouraging start for the Hayley Burton yard when touched off over track and trip earlier in the month and now has Rob Hornby on board. With a similar performance, the six-year-old will prove a tough nut to crack. First Encounter finished two lengths clear of the third when just failing in his bid for a double over C&D on his latest outing and is likely to be on the premises again. Spirit Charmer is another to note.
