LE FORBAN showed improved form despite still looking a bit rough around the edges when forcing a dead heat on handicap bow at Lingfield on his return and should have more to offer over this longer trip. State Legend quickly got back on the up with a stylish win at Doncaster last week and is an obvious threat, while Al Azhar should be suited by this step up in trip.
