Formscan - SPECIAL JOHN comfortably accounted for his nearest rival by just under four lengths at Bangor on his latest outing and even though Sam Thomas' charge has a 7lb rise to contend with, he might be up to the task. Gata Ban won with ease at Worcester on Saturday and provided the nine-year-old copes with this quick turnaround, she ought to have a say. Ballyfinn can beat Edgewell home for third.
