Formscan - All of these have questions to answer, but perhaps THE COX EXPRESS could be the way to go now he has the benefit of a recent run under his belt. Although well beaten on his return at Chepstow earlier this month, that was his first start since May and, off a still competitive rating, the Robert Walford-trained gelding could offer a bit of value in an open contest. Stardhem, who runs with cheekpieces added, and Nachtgeist rate the chief dangers.
