Formscan - BELIEVE IN STARS made a winning reappearance last year and a chance is taken that he's primed for action once again. Sir Michael Stoute's charge finished runner-up over 1m2f in this grade in November and has lots of scope for improvement over this longer distance. Mr Alan also returns to the fray, although his best form last year came on testing ground, and To Catch A Thief is preferred having placed at Haydock last week. True Courage and Aiming High arrive on the back of victories but are both upped in class.
