Going - Good to Soft. 
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - The Sue Smith stable can do little wrong at present and this looks like an ideal opportunity for INFORMATEUR to regain the winning thread, following a decent pipe-opener over hurdles at Wetherby last month. His penultimate effort at Newcastle is strong form, and he can get the better of capable topweight Fidux, as well as Tango Boy, who could be up to this if his jumping is on point.
