Formscan - A comfortable winner from the reopposing Liosa on his last start over this C&D in July, for which he is 3lb worse off, ARLECCHINO'S GIFT still looks the one to beat on the back of his most recent effort, when narrowly denied at Lingfield. A capable sort on his day, Cooperation has dropped to a very workable mark, while C&D winner Porfin is another to consider at this level.
