Formscan - The drop back to sprinting made a big difference to HK FOURTEEN when improving plenty from his handicap bow to score at Bath last Thursday. Tony Carroll's gelding is unlikely to have any issue in backing up under a 5lb penalty, despite this being a competitive race for the grade. Evoluir debuts for Micky Hammond after winning at Southwell last time and boasts solid credentials, while Urban Dandy and Fircombe Hall appear best of the remainder.
