Southwell
Sat 31st Oct

Formscan  - VOLENTI showed improvement to finish a neck second over C&D and an added 1lb still leaves him at the bottom of the weights so he has a solid chance. Launceston has won two of his last three on turf, although his all-weather record leaves something to be desired and last week's C&D third Dumfries could prove to be the bigger danger.
