Formscan - Greatness Awaits has filled the top two places on his last three outings and is expected to give a good account off 2lb higher than his most recent second at Market Rasen. However, the step up in trip might be a negative and, with that in mind, THE DARK EDGE gets the nod. The five-year-old took a step in the right direction to fill the runner-up spot on handicap debut at Huntingdon in April and he could be the one to beat off only a 1lb higher mark. Sami Bear completes the shortlist.
