Formscan - This looks a good opportunity for CHURCHMAN to shed his maiden tag after a likeable effort when third over 2m at Uttoxeter earlier this month. Alastair Ralph's runner shaped as if this step up in trip would suit and he makes plenty of appeal. Shandancer is feared most after a willing effort over the extended 2m4f at Plumpton behind a rival who has subsequently franked the form, while Arabescato heads the remainder.
