Going - Good (Good to Soft in places). 

Formscan  - Fasol is unexposed with only two hurdle starts under his belt and the 100-rated Flat performer is sure to have plenty of supporters on his handicap debut, but BALHAMBAR gets the vote representing the shrewd Harry Derham stable. He has progressed with each hurdle start since joining this yard, chasing home subsequent easy Swinton Hurdle winner Pickanumber last time, and a recent pipe-opener on the Flat should have put him spot on for this assignment. Clap Of Thunder, Belgoprince and Model Approach are others to note.
