Formscan - BORN RULER produced a career-best performance when bolting up at Ayr. The Kingman gelding will find this tougher under a penalty, but he is 3lb well-in compared to his revised mark and Fred Daly takes off a valuable 7lb so it would come as no surprise were he to repeat the dose. Devoirs Choice (second) and Crimson Road (third) met at Sandown last month. The latter is 3lb better off and could close the gap but Siempre Arturo, who seeks a hat-trick following wins at Leicester and Yarmouth, might be the main threat.
