Formscan  - Runner-up on three of his last four starts, including twice over C&D, ARTISAN DANCER deserves a change in luck, and he can get that on this occasion in what looks a winnable contest. Despite a difficult wide draw, he can see off the likes of old rival Spritzin' and Theonlywayiswessex, who could be back on a workable mark. Others to note include Eloped, Palace Boy and Queensland Boy.
