Formscan - NOCTE VOLATUS has looked better than ever so far this season. He landed a double when victorious at Sandown last month and Tom Lacey's veteran may well defy a 2lb rise. His stablemate Montregard also has solid claims, having finished a respectable second over C&D recently, while Jipcot steps marginally back up in distance off the back of winning at Leicester and could be in the mix. Joyeux Machin was tanking along in front when falling at Doncaster and may also have a say in an open contest.
