FORMULA caught the eye last time out when finishing second at this venue and is taken to go one better at the expense of Dome Rocket and Zebrano. The selection steps up in trip after finishing second to Farleigh over one mile. He was staying on one paced in the closing stages that day and this step up in trip is bound to benefit him as he has battled all the way to the line on all his races to date. Dome Rocket disappointed on his seasonal reappearance at Kempton last month. He finished second on all three outings as a two year old last season but he should be treated with caution after such a poor come back run. Zebrano showed great promise last season finishing second three times. He looks certain to have a promising career if he has trained on so any market moves should be noted.
