Going - Good (Good to Soft in places). 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - Having filled the runner-up berth at Hamilton and Redcar on his most recent outings, compensation could be on the cards for WONDERFUL FRIEND. Ed Bethell's gelding ticks plenty of the right boxes and is narrowly preferred to fellow in-form rival Mossvale Diva. The daughter of Coulsty has the inside draw and isn't taken lightly. Going Commando may fare best of the remainder.
