Formscan - Volenti went in by a head over C&D last week and holds an obvious chance, despite his 5lb penalty. However, he might come out second best to WHATWOULDYOUKNOW, who showed a lot more when making the frame over track and trip and has been dropped 1lb. The nine-year-old is now 11lb lower than his last successful mark and can repeat his victory in this race of two years ago. Martin's Brig completes the shortlist.
