Going - Good to Soft.

Formscan  - BESPOKE TAILOR bumped into a progressive rival at Perth on his racecourse debut before finishing second to an impressive winner at Ayr on his return in October. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for Ewan Whillans' gelding to go one better, and he could saddle the 1-2 with Blakey Boy, who shaped with encouragement on his first start at Hexham in June. Gonnino is another solid contender with improvement forthcoming.
