Formscan - SAINT BIBIANA impressed with the manner of her victory over 3m2f at Stratford last month, coming clear in the closing stages to win going away, and, on that evidence, a 6lb rise may not be enough to anchor her. Mollie Brown shaped like the application of blinkers would suit when finishing third in a similar contest at Hereford a few weeks ago, while the class-dropping Shirocco's Dream completes the shortlist.
