Formscan - Bix Beiderbecke got off the mark on only his second start over hurdles at Perth in May and he rates an interesting contender off a rating of 111 on his handicap bow. However, SCOTS POET looks the way to go, as he put in a very pleasing display to only be denied by two lengths into second over C&D in a tougher contest than this last time. Ip Up completes the shortlist off a 7lb higher mark than her victory at Fakenham.
