Formscan - An open-looking contest, but KEEN INTEREST posted his best effort to date when runner-up at Bath last month and a repeat showing off the same mark of 47 may be enough to see Alice Haynes' gelding open his account. Michael Wigham is 2-5 with his representatives here in the last five seasons, so his Bubblecraft is worth a second look, while Ribkana is another to consider having finished second at Ripon last time out.
