Formscan - A fiercely-competitive event with several interesting contenders, including Snow Leopardess who was a game winner of this race last year. However, she is now rated 6lb higher and has been pulled up on her last two starts, so it is easier to side with the Laura Morgan-trained PERCUSSION. He made a pleasing return to action when running on for third in the Grand Sefton last month and the fact that he is rated 3lb lower now can see him sneak closer into contention today. Fortescue is rated 2lb above his last winning mark and can also have a say in proceedings, along with last year's runner-up Hill Sixteen.
