Formscan - A progressive sort last season, which ended with a respectable second to Tommy's Oscar at Ayr, TRAPRAIN LAW seems just the type who could excel further for the Lucinda Russell team. Stepping up to this trip looks like a sound move on his return and, getting 6lb, he is narrowly preferred to classy Towton winner Colonel Harry, who has plied his trade at the highest level on his last three starts. Fresh from a couple of efforts on the level, Marble Sands cannot be ruled out easily.
