Formscan - Having hit the frame in novice company at Southwell and Cartmel in May, point-to-point winner EATON ANNE makes plenty of appeal on his handicap bow. An opening mark of 97 looks lenient and the six-year-old is likely to relish this step up in trip. Hard As Nails also enters this sphere off what looks a fair rating and the Fergal O'Brien-trained mare isn't taken lightly. River Robe and Paddys Island have the form to feature as well.
