Formscan  - PRECIOUS SPARTAN made a mockery of his 16/1 odds when scoring readily on debut for his new yard over C&D last week and now has a 6lb penalty to carry. Provided the three-year-old remains in similar form, he will prove tough to beat. Epicurian Lad was never dangerous when only sixth at Nottingham, but is 2lb lower and sports a first-time visor. Flamborough Head completes the shortlist.
