Formscan - Shan Blue finished a close-up third in a premier handicap at Ascot in February and the handicapper might have been kind to drop him 1lb for that performance. Even so, PULL AGAIN GREEN looks the more appealing option. Fergal O'Brien's eight-year-old filled the runner-up spot in this grade at Chepstow last time and is a previous C&D winner. If he can run to a similar level of form, he could prove hard to beat. Celebre D'Allen is another to note after his fourth in the Topham at Aintree in April.
