Formscan - VALVANO caught the eye when third to the subsequent Listed winner Bolster on his handicap debut over 1m2f at York last month. The son of Night Of Thunder may improve now stepped up in trip and could prove well handicapped. The consistent Stressfree finished a place in front of the selection at York but may not be able to confirm the form on these terms. Master Builder and Minstrel Knight are other progressive three-year-olds to consider, while Oneforthegutter and Chillingham boast each-way claims.
