Wed 4th Nov

Formscan  - CORNER FORWARD is taken to edge an open affair, having finished a solid third over 2m at Ffos Las on his handicap debut back in April. The five-year-old left the strong impression this extra test of stamina would suit and Harry Cobden prefers his chances to those of Are You Joking. Gimarias enters calculations on his narrow defeat at Bangor, while Midnight Pass placed here last month and is another to consider along with Jacksbar and Isabella Islay.
