Formscan - HARTWOOD MAN (16) was a decent third last time at Saint-Cloud in early June in a Class 3 handicap and is at the right end of the handicap to be competitive. KING HARTWOOD (14) will not make things easy for his rivals after a confidence-boosting win when he was around a length ahead of the selection when winning the Saint-Cloud race. On more favoured weights today the latter can be able to reverse the form. ALCANOR (2) and ATOME (12) are both live candidates for the each-way backers to look at.
