Formscan - Hooper posted a good effort in defeat when third on his last start in May and returns off a 4lb lower mark here. However, the vote goes to SCHMILSSON, who returned from a break to pip a subsequent winner at Wetherby and is just 3lb higher. The five-year-old makes only his third handicap start in this sphere so there should be more to come. King William Rufus is the pick of the remainder.
