Formscan - EBONY MAW bumped into an in-form rival when runner-up over 1m4f at Thirsk and, stepping back up in trip off just 1lb higher than his last winning mark, he edges preference. Philos bounced back to form when a creditable second over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle and, nudged up 1lb, he can make his presence felt. Laudable completes the shortlist on his first start for a new stable, and the betting may prove informative.
