Formscan  - HIGH ON HOPE, who supplemented a Chelmsford triumph with a cosy win over C&D, is a key player bidding to compete a hat-trick from bottom weight. He is back up in class and this isn't a straightforward task, but he is worth sticking with. The Lost King resumed from a break to score over 7f here and is a big threat if in the same mood, with Oisin Murphy reunited to judge the fractions back over a mile. Popmaster and Nikovo should also be thereabouts.
