Formscan  - More positive tactics saw an improved performance from SHANTOU EXPRESS when finding only a subsequent winner too strong at Warwick earlier this month. A 4lb rise in the ratings might not prevent another bold bid on that evidence and compensation could be on the cards. The biggest threat is fellow in-form rival Craven Bay, who lost little in defeat when thwarted in his hat-trick bid at Fontwell 17 days ago. Heaven Smart looks the pick of the remainder.
