Going - Good to Firm. 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - WARDA JAMILA (fourth) may have less than a length to make up with the reopposing Rathgar (second) from their recent clash at Epsom, but Andrew Balding's charge is better drawn on this occasion and boasts every chance of reversing that form. A capable sort last year, she is narrowly preferred to Take Heart, who landed a valuable handicap at Goodwood last July and ran creditably most recently at Cork. Grey Cuban and Penzance have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.
