Going - Good (Good to Soft in places).

Formscan  - BANANA struck by a head in a handicap at Chepstow last week and provided the six-year-old remains in similar form, she will prove very hard to beat. Marcus sported a first-time visor when finishing second at this level at Chepstow last time and needs to be considered, while Second Collection is another to watch out for.
