Going - Soft (Heavy in places).

Formscan  - It is hard to rule many of these out, but the vote goes to OCEAN CONQUEST. The son of Time Test has won his last two starts and he had plenty in hand on the most recent of those occasions at Ludlow. First-time cheekpieces may spark further progression and a mark of 117 could still underestimate him. The recent Kempton third Across Earth is 1lb well-in and should not be discounted, while Knight Templar and Torrent complete the shortlist.
