Formscan - The hat-trick seeking R Bernard has to be of interest on his return to action, but marginal preference is for OPERA KING. The four-year-old only found one too good on his handicap bow at Market Rasen last month and that recent run could just give him the edge. Horizon D'or edges out Pearl Island and G'day Aussie to be best of the rest.
