Formscan  - ROYAL OBSERVATORY was only beaten a head at Lingfield 10 days ago and the first-time application of cheekpieces could help him go one better here, despite a 2lb rise. Urban Road has been running consistently well in defeat of late and is likely to be in the mix once again, while similar comments apply to Busby. Blue Yonder is another with valid form claims following his narrow defeat at Lingfield.
