Formscan - ITALO (5) finished on the podium in all 6 visits to this course, albeit over further. That experience stands him in good stead and he gets the nod in the 'Lucky Last' ahead of FULL GAIN (1) whose aptitude for this track is also not in question. ARFAN (3), judged on his best references and racing off a lower mark, and VIRIMOON ETOILE (16), dropped to a dangerous rating with the benefit of an apprentice allowance, appeal most of the remainder.
