Formscan - ITHAKA won over this C&D at the start of December and, having also scored with a determined effort at Uttoxeter most recently, there are good reasons to expect another bold showing. Another Lord returned from a break with a close-up second over 2m6f at Uttoxeter last month and should also have more to offer off 4lb higher. Belvedere Blast and the unexposed Caher Roes Den complete the shortlist.
