Going - Good to Soft (Soft in places). 

Formscan  - BENIGN DICTATOR is a proven stayer having won over 3m2f at Warwick in December. Upped in class when fourth at Huntingdon last time, the nine-year-old remains of interest at this level with Sean Bowen taking over the reins. The leading rider also steered Jalisco Star to victory at Chepstow a fortnight ago and she could feature again raised only 3lb, while Fierce Warrior may well bounce back from a disappointing effort here in December and is preferred to Kruger Park.
