Going - Good to Soft-Soft in places. 

Formscan  - Dan Skelton switches Joyeux Machin and PRINCE ZALTAR back to fences and it is the last-named who makes most appeal. The eight-year-old beat all bar subsequent winner Kikijo at Cheltenham and is able to compete here from the same mark. Docpickedme made the frame in the Rehearsal and is now back to the rating from which he landed the Great Yorkshire over C&D. The Venetia Williams stable is clicking into gear and Alcedo played a part in that when successful on ground that probably wasn't as testing as he'd like at Newcastle.
