Formscan - The hat-trick seeking My Mate Mike warrants respect in his current mood and another bold bid is forecast. However, a drop in distance may prove the four-year-old's undoing and BRIAN THE SNAIL shades the verdict. Patrick Morris' veteran arrives on the back of a cosy victory at Thirsk and he's 2lb well-in before his revised mark takes effect. Fellow in-form rivals Mint Man and Havana Rum also demand a second look.
