Formscan - PERGAMON was no slouch on the level and he's taken his form to a new level since returning to timber this year, winning at Huntingdon in April before following up at Ludlow. William Shanahan, who has been aboard for both of those victories, keeps the partnership intact and he's fancied to steer him to a third success on the spin. This represents a drop in class for C&D winner Pure Gold, who can edge out Ravenscraig Castle to claim the silver medal.
