Formscan - The consistent Thank You Ma'am won readily over C&D just before Christmas and, open to further progress over this trip, has major claims despite a 7lb higher mark. However, JILAIJONE, whose yard won the 2023 renewal, was equally impressive when he won over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month and this step up in trip could be ideal after that wide-margin success. An 8lb higher rating could well be within range for David Pipe's gelding. Greyval, Bective Abbey and Hardy Fella are other solid options for the shortlist.
