Going - Good (Good to Soft in places). 

Formscan  - BLUEKING D'OROUX landed a Grade 2 novice chase at Wincanton prior to finding the competition too hot in the Grade 1 Kauto Star over 3m here last time. Paul Nicholls' charge looks to have solid claims off his current mark with the underfoot conditions in his favour. Califet En Vol opened his account over fences with a cosy success over C&D and cannot be ruled out, despite a 5lb rise, while the recent Newbury third Teddy Blue is also noted.
