Formscan - STRESSFREE was only beaten a length and a half into second in a class 3 event on his return to action at Doncaster last month and he competes off only 2lb higher. David O'Meara's four-year-old looks to have conditions to suit once again and he can take advantage of a drop in grade. Wintercrack is another who will relish conditions and she comes into this contest on the back of a victory at Pontefract. She has to be considered off a 6lb higher mark, while Maxi King completes the shortlist.
