Formscan - SALLAAL beat only four rivals when scoring easily over the extended mile at Hamilton, but both the second and third have boosted that form subsequently. Pedigree suggests the son of Frankel will relish this extra distance and Roger Varian's charge looks on a potentially lenient mark now handicapping. Seraph Gabriel also steps up in trip, having finished second in a competitive contest at Sandown on his handicap bow, and he warrants serious consideration. Fast ground is an unknown for the French challenger Best Secret, with Ernst Blofeld, who also sports the Wathnan colours, preferred on his respectable fourth at Newbury last month.
