Formscan - GLOBAL ESTEEM arrives having struck on the Flat at Sandown recently. Fergal O'Brien's charge has yet to open his account over timber but there have been a number of solid performances in defeat, and any further improvement can see him break through. Dodger Long hasn't been seen since winning at Taunton in March but he will be a real threat if returning in a similar vein of form, while others to note include Rockchoeur and Raincloud.
