Formscan - UNDER SIEGE found only Lead Artist too good at York on his latest start and stands out from the pack on that form. The winner has since placed in Listed company and Andrew Balding's grey colt faces nothing of that calibre in this. Min Huna showed a modicum of improvement at Goodwood but there should be more to come from her, while stable companion Bullet Point is upped in trip with a chance of finishing closer. Shamran is a likely improver and is preferred of the rest.
