Going - Good. 
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - DE DELI COUNTER won here last time out when staying on well to score by over three lengths and an added 5lb is unlikely to prevent Mark Walford's charge from going in again. Blue Bear had to settle for fourth behind the selection on that occasion and is probably booked for a supporting role once again. Nottodaybobo showed more promise last time and can contend if building on that effort.
