Formscan - Colonel Lesley wasn't beaten far into third in this grade at Hereford last month and has to be respected off only 2lb higher. However, the eight-year-old could come out second best to KING'S CASTLE, who scored in pleasing fashion in a class 4 event at Warwick last month and the handicapper may have let him off the hook with only a 3lb rise for that triumph. Jeremy Scott's seven-year-old looks well placed to record a double, while Gorcombe Moonshine can fight it out for the minor money.
