Formscan  - The Owen Burrows stable can do little wrong at present and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for HENGROIN to get off the mark, following a respectable seventh in what looked like a strong maiden at Newmarket recently. Runner-up at Windsor on his penultimate outing, the son of Lucky Vega is preferred to Norfolk Blue, who showed up well when second at Lingfield earlier in the month. Parole Officer is another to note.
