Formscan - Karakoram has been slowly returning to form if his recent third-placed finish over 2m7f at Exeter is anything to go by, and this dual course winner must enter calculations. However, EDE'IFFS ROCK boasts a lightly-raced profile and she is fancied to go one place better than her runner-up effort at Plumpton. Bill Turner's mare races off the same mark and another bold bid is anticipated. Sawpit Sienna is also of interest.
