Formscan - A typically wide-open renewal and just a tentative vote can go to TOO FRIENDLY. James Owen's gelding, a five-time winner over hurdles, won over 2m at Kempton in March and has few miles on the clock in this sphere, so a 4lb raised mark could underestimate the son of Camelot. Magellan Strait (winner) and Falcon Eight (second), who landed this in 2021, are closely matched on their meeting in last year's Irish Cesarewitch and both must enter calculations, along with The Shunter, who claimed the English equivalent in October.
