Formscan  - BACK IN BLACK returned with a promising fourth in the Spring Cup at Newbury before doing well in the circumstances to place at Lingfield behind a pair of front runners. Off an unchanged mark, the four-year-old gets the vote to strike, with the addition of a tongue-tie expected to help him. El Matador didn't appear to quite see out 1m2f at Ripon and he commands plenty of respect dropping back in trip. Others to note are Treble Tee and Dosman.
