Formscan  - The Crafty Mole, who had a 3lb claimer in the saddle when he overhauled BELIEVITANDUCAN near the finish to score at both Wetherby and Redcar earlier in the campaign, commands respect. However, the latter has done little wrong and can take advantage of his old adversary carrying a 6lb penalty for last week's Yarmouth win. Shadowofyoursmile also enters calculations as a lightly raced and improving stayer, whereas the betting can guide with Lingfield winner Nancy P, who steps up a couple of furlongs off 5lb higher.
