Going - Good to Soft (Soft in places). 

Formscan  - Dan and Harry Skelton teamed up to land this race 12 months ago with Midnight River and they bid to repeat the dose this year with THE KING OF RYHOPE, who still held a chance when making a bad mistake at the last in the Grade 2 Reynoldstown Chase over 3m in February. Still unexposed over this sort of trip, he looks potentially well treated on his return to handicap company and is taken to reverse the form with Kilbeg King, who was ahead of the selection in second at Ascot that day but must concede 3lb to that rival now and subsequently had a hard race in the National Hunt Chase. Crebilly stayed on well for a good second in the Plate at Cheltenham and, although he went up 3lb for that, he should relish this extra yardage. Twig is 4lb higher for also filling the runner-up spot at Prestbury Park last month in the Ultima but that form gives him a big shout.
