Good-good to firm in places View all races

Formscan  - IT JUST TAKES TIME is no stranger to success at this circuit and he gave notice his winning turn could be just around the corner when finishing second at Wetherby 12 days ago. A bold showing looks assured but keep an eye on Woodstock, who finished a close-up third here two starts ago and posted another solid effort in defeat at Beverley last time. City Captain is also noted.
