Formscan - NADIM found only the progressive Pak Army too strong on his handicap debut at Stratford last Saturday and Milton Harris' four-year-old rates as the one to beat off only 3lb higher. Riggsby looks to be on a fair opening mark on his first foray into this sphere and he can't be taken lightly having undergone a wind operation since placing third at Wetherby in March. Last month's C&D runner-up Ez Tiger completes the shortlist.
