Formscan - ABSOLUTELY FINE put in a career-best effort when filling third place on his handicap debut over 2m7f at Worcester last month and that form gives him a big chance in this moderate event. Propelled and Newtonian both failed to fire on their most recent outings but are players based on previous form, while Faerie Cutlass and Prince De Juilley also make the shortlist.
