1st - £20,812.00 2nd - £9,568.00 3rd - £4,784.00 4th - £2,392.00 5th - £1,196.00 6th - £596.00

Formscan - Turned out again relatively quickly after a taking success over shorter here recently, DIPLOMATIC ASH is likely to relish going back up in trip and can land the hat-trick under a 7lb penalty. That may be at the main expense of Good Friday Fairy, who has been raised 6lb for his most recent success at Taunton. Hereford winner Zestful Hope is another to consider, along with the consistent Joe Cotton.
