Good (Good to Firm in places) View all races

Formscan  - CROCUS TIME arrives in the middle of a real purple patch and it will take a brave punter to take her on following determined triumphs at Redcar and Wetherby. She likes to be up near the pace, if not making it, and everything points to another bold front-running display in this handicap sprint finale. The dangers are Knicks and Westgate Warrior.
