Formscan - Although NORTON HILL was thwarted in his hat-trick bid when only fourth at Plumpton last time out, this return to class 4 company is likely to suit. The Fame And Glory gelding still looks capable of scoring off his current rating and he edges the vote ahead of Island Run. The seven-year-old arrives here on the back of a solid second over an extended 3m at Kempton and this longer distance will only help. Blue Ridge Hill rates best of the rest.
