Going - Good to Soft (Soft in places). 

Formscan  - ERIC CARMEN appears to have found a new lease of life this season, having won on three occasions, and a 4lb rise for his Market Rasen success seems to be very fair. However, he does face an interesting rival in the shape of River Run Free, who won here over further in January before a mediocre effort at Ffos Las. Begin The Luck has dropped to his last winning mark and isn't without a chance.
