Going - Soft (Good to Soft in places). 

Formscan  - Runner-up last year behind a runaway winner, IRON BRIDGE returns off 6lb lower and may be value for a trainer who has won this twice. The eight-year-old's return third at Carlisle was encouraging and he gets the vote ahead of Galia Des Liteaux, who is much better than she showed in the Coral Gold Cup. She shaped well for a long way in the Grand National and finished second in the Classic Chase at Warwick last term. Unbeaten in three starts at this track and a stablemate of the selection, Monbeg Genius is 8lb better off with his Haydock conqueror Fontaine Collonges and could have a say. Jubilee Express was last seen scoring comfortably at Haydock in March, while Troytown winner Stuzzikini looks the pick of the Irish.
