FormscanBy Mark Nunan - SCHERZANDO had been knocking on the door before winning narrowly over a mile here last time. He’s up 6lb in the ratings and down a furlong in trip, but he has form over the distance and the Shamardal 4-year-old, who only started racing in June, may continue to improve. Jackmel has gone up a total of 10lb for two recent wins at this venue and is an obvious danger as he goes for a hat-trick. Everyhouronthehour blew the start last time but this dual course winner can get involved if breaking on terms, while Eglish had a good spell on the polytrack in the early part of the year and shaped well when fifth here a fortnight ago.
