Good to Firm (Good in places) View all races

Formscan  - VENETIAN LION has scope for progression and appeals for a quick follow-up after a smooth win at Nottingham 17 days ago. The William Haggas-trained gelding fully justified the strong support in the betting that day and appears capable of holding his own in this slightly deeper race. Mertoun has paid the price for a brace of wins in handicaps with a rising mark, but is dependable enough to warrant close inspection. Glen Nevis is less exposed than some of the others and is a reasonable alternative.
