Formscan  - Arnhem is a contender after a recent near-miss over C&D, although the still-enthusiastic 10-year-old went up 3lb and the burden of top weight does him no favours. The vote goes to MISSION COMMAND, whose last win (on turf) came off 5lb higher. Still unexposed on the all-weather, the Jennie Candlish-trained gelding is capable of getting his head in front again now back over the suitable minimum trip. King's Crown and Monks Dream complete the shortlist.
