Race Info

1st - £45,016.00 2nd - £16,960.00 3rd - £8,488.00 4th - £4,240.00 5th - £2,128.00 6th - £1,064.00 7th - £528.00 8th - £272.00

Formscan - A fantastic renewal as ever, with the lightly-raced ETALON shading the vote. The Dan Skelton inmate justified strong market support when recording a first career success over 2m at Wetherby in January and is expected to improve for this step up to 2m4f. Dangers are aplenty, headed by Hugos New Horse, who is chasing a fifth consecutive win, and Cuthbert Dibble, who proved a different proposition when winning over a slightly longer distance at Leicester last month. Last-time-out winners Crambo and Inneston are others to consider.
