Formscan - Recent Thirsk scorer Telemark and the hat-trick seeking Spirit Genie are on an upward curve and both must be seriously considered, but it is BILLYJOH who shades preference. Stepped up to 7f for the first time in the Buckingham Palace last month, it proved to be no problem as he finished second to the impressive English Oak. Given that he has scope for further progress at this trip, Michael Appleby's gelding can shrug off a 2lb rise in the handicap and go one better. Others to note include Mister Sketch and Oliver Show.
