Formscan  - Tour Ovalie had Love Tree (second) half-a-length behind when scoring at Hereford last month and she can confirm her superiority over that rival to go close. However, it may pay to side with ARCLIGHT, who hasn't been seen in this sphere since finishing well held in a premier handicap at Cheltenham in April last year. Nicky Henderson's five-year-old will find this a much easier assignment and her class might pull her through. Panic Attack completes the shortlist.
