Good to Soft (Soft in places) View all races

Formscan  - Although no match for an impressive scorer at Lingfield, the form has been franked so Little Ledgend should be a threat to all from 2lb lower. Best Night bumped into a similarly commanding winner over the extended 2m here and is a player, although it is BEL OMBRE who shades preference. Neil Mulholland's gelding was well held at big prices in maiden/novice company, but he goes handicapping from a fair opening mark and may well take a leap forward.
