Formscan - STOCKPYLE was 2lb well-in when getting back to winning ways at Kempton last Wednesday, with more authority than the official margin suggests. With that being an apprentice handicap, the five-year-old escapes a penalty and is likely to prove a tough nut to crack due to his rider being able to utilise his full 7lb claim on this occasion. Racing Demon lost all chance at the start when only beating a sole rival home in his bid for a hat-trick at Windsor. He is capable of bouncing back, having won well here in May, while a return to turf might aid the cause of Optiva Star.
