Formscan  - BIG BOY BARNEY offered plenty of encouragement on his fourth-placed Rules debut at Warwick last month. The winner subsequently finished a cracking second in a Grade 2 at the Aintree Festival and Fergal O'Brien's charge is unlikely to bump into anything of that calibre here. Calvino was too bad to be true when well beaten in sixth at Chepstow 20 days ago, but a reproduction of his debut fourth at Ascot would see him in the mix. Daring To Dream is the pick of the remainder.
