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

Formscan  - Sunway made good progress in high-profile races during 2024, registering his biggest achievement by finishing a close second in the Irish Derby last June. David Menusier's experienced stable-star boasts tempting credentials from subsequent Group 1 exploits but there is a slight query about him first time up as a four-year-old. With that in mind, a chance is taken on BELLUM JUSTUM, who won the Lingfield Derby trial on his reappearance last year. Last seen winning the Nashville Derby at Kentucky, there is a lot to like about the Sea The Stars colt. Ancient Wisdom and Tabletalk are other strong contenders.
