Going - Soft (Good to Soft in places). 

Formscan  - Ikarak is consistent, stays well and has already won three times when partnered by Sean Bowen. However, he was a well-held third off this mark at Sandown last month and again looks vulnerable. Therefore, preference is for AUTHORIZED MISSION, who successfully debuted for Nicky Richards at Kelso before losing little in defeat when second to an in-form rival at the same venue. He appears progressive enough to cope with a 5lb rise. Whistle Stop Tour and Highland Fashion are other appealing options.
