Formscan - Ramazan produced a huge effort to take the silver medal home in last year's renewal and boasts leading claims once again off a 5lb higher mark after his second in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time. However, the vote goes to ROOM SERVICE. Kevin Ryan's colt was worth a lot more than the winning margin suggests on his handicap debut at Pontefract in July and has since undergone wind surgery. The son of Kodi Bear should be able to make full use of his hold-up tactics and might swoop past his rivals when it matters. Sergeant Wilko and American Affair are others to keep an eye on.
