Formscan  - SMASHER was only hit with a 2lb rise after gamely winning over course and distance four weeks ago and appeals on his bid to follow up. The Real McKay is another key player following a comfortable win at Newcastle, with a 3lb rise also noted as fair. Vaunted won this race off 6lb higher last year and shouldn't be underestimated, while previous C&D winners The Cola Kid and Wallop are other each-way options.
