Formscan - In a fiercely competitive handicap it may be worth siding with MARTELLO SKY, who looks overpriced when you go back through her form. Although yet to win this season, she was last seen finishing third to Epatante in a Grade 2 at Doncaster and this will be her first venture into handicap company since winning at Cheltenham off 3lb higher in December 2021. Going and trip look ideal and she could go well at a big price, though Camprond is an obvious danger. He may have won the Coral Cup barring a mistake at the last, although an added 5lb from the handicapper won't make his task any easier. Sonigino may look to slip the field early and make all the running, while Irish raider The Bosses Oscar is another who is hard to ignore.
