Formscan  - FIRST COMPANY is holding his form really well at present and is well worth sticking with for now. He certainly wasn't winning out of turn at Kempton latest, after a couple of solid efforts in defeat, and if you go back to August this year, he posted a close-up third at this track too. Dandys Derriere is a C&D winner and makes plenty of each-way appeal, while Bomb Squad should run his usual honest race.
