Formscan - Several hold decent chances and the likes of Follow Charlie, a winner over the extended 2m4f at Ayr last time, and the progressive Final Edgar both warrant serious consideration. As does Tommy Combats, who holds potential off a workable mark on his handicap debut. However, preference is for MASKED CRUSADER, who was unlucky to be pipped at the post in a hands and heels/conditional riders' race over this C&D 23 days ago and, with Brian Hughes now taking over in the saddle, he can go one place better this time.
