Formscan - VICTORIA FALLS arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having backed up her success on the July course at Thirsk last week. The four-year-old has to carry a 5lb penalty, but she may prove difficult to stop based on her current form. Ranger Thunderbolt shaped as though the return to a mile would aid his cause when runner-up at Newbury last time. Ventura Rascal, Restrict and Kimifive appeal most of the remainder.
