Formscan - The Ben Pauling yard can do little wrong at present and FIERCELY PROUD should be well suited by this test, having shown plenty of pace at Doncaster last month before fading into third. He can overturn form with Lump Sum (second), whose jumping can still be brushed up on, which is a worry on a sharp track like this. Panjari made a fine impression at Musselburgh, while Secret Squirrel must also be considered on the drop in trip.
