Formscan - A typically competitive big-field handicap sees a chance taken on HALE END, who won more cosily than the one-length winning margin may suggest over 1m at Thirsk and a repeat of that effort could see him defy a 4lb rise in the ratings. His stable companion Boy Douglas (second) reopposes after confirming the form when scoring subsequently over 1m at Ayr earlier this month and he appears likely to challenge once more. John Chard Vc is also of interest.
