Formscan - KOSAKENZIPFEL (1) was a workmanlike winner of his last start over this course and distance and, even with a 3kg penalty to carry, is good value to preserve his invincibility on this surface. He will, however, have to thwart the likely challenge of LORENZO DE MEDICI (8), who was beaten only a neck by that rival last time, and MR XOO (3) who is 3kg better off with the selection on these revised weight terms. BLUES ROCK (9) is inconsistent but remains capable of getting into the picture at this level, as does consistent UZEL (4) in his first attempt at this distance. FLATTEN THE CURVE (13), PROMETEO (6) and HOLLYWOOD AFRICANS (11) complete the shortlist.
