Formscan - KIRCHNER improved for the step up in distance when runner-up in the Northumberland Plate and compensation could be imminent. A 2lb nudge up the ratings is unlikely to halt the four-year-old's progress and he's taken to repel reopposing Newcastle third Synergism. Sir Mark Prescott's gelding was just under two lengths behind the selection and a swing in the weights may bring him closer. Fireblade also arrives in good heart and shouldn't be far away.
