Formscan - Runner-up in a valuable handicap at Royal Ascot last June and last seen running in the Ebor, HMS PRESIDENT looks a shrewd recruit to this sphere. Trainer Alan King has done well with these types in the past and the seven-year-old may be able to take this en route to bigger targets, with recent Warwick third Koenigsstern looking best placed to chase him home. The booking of Harry Cobden aboard Lario catches the eye and he could also land a blow.
