Formscan - This looks a wide-open event in which the hat-trick seeking Pretending is likely to attract plenty of support after his convincing success off 6lb lower at Uttoxeter last month. However, a chance can be taken on MERMAIDS CAVE, who might have been value for more than the winning margin suggests at Bangor on her latest outing. James Owen's five-year-old only has a 4lb higher mark to contend with and the step back up in trip looks a good move. Larchmont Lass and Bethpage are two others to consider.
