Formwatch
Pawn Broker looks the class act in this field and is confidently expected to make a winning debut for his new stable. His form last year was rock solid, including a defeat of then stablemate Island Sound at Newmarket's Craven meeting. The latter may again finish in the frame, while Border Arrow, who has been placed in two classics, would have claims on his best form but has had his problems in the past and is probably worth watching for now.
