Going - Good (Good to Soft in places). 

Formscan  - VALGRAND was mightily impressive when beating the reopposing Gale Mahler by 17 lengths over an extended 2m here last month and it's hard to see how the latter can reverse that form being just 5lb better off at these weights. Dan Skelton's charge could potentially improve again for stretching out in distance and he is fancied to get the better of Potters Charm, who justified favouritism when winning over 2m4f on the same card here three weeks ago. The Twiston-Davies runner certainly wasn't as attractive on the eye, making a number of mistakes on the way round, and the selection could be away and gone if he doesn't jump with more fluency.
