Formscan - CLIMATE PRECEDENT burnt the fingers of favourite-backers when not beaten far into third over slightly further here in June, but he encountered traffic problems that day and could be worth another chance. Dan Skelton's four-year-old looked to be getting the hang of things when scoring in style at Stratford the time before and his trainer has a good record at the Lincolnshire track in recent years. Evenwood Sonofagun finished ahead of a subsequent winner when runner-up over a similar trip on his latest outing and should have his say, while Callin Baton Rouge won well over 2m at Uttoxeter last month, but stepping up in trip off a 6lb higher mark will ask more questions of her.
