Going - Good to Soft. 
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - ROYALE PAGAILLE may have disappointed when favourite for the Peter Marsh here last month, but the veteran can be given another chance based on his previous performances at this venue. That includes back-to-back victories in the Betfair Chase and Venetia Williams' gelding should not be underestimated. Val Dancer accounted for Jubilee Express (second) when winning the Welsh Grand National in December and they both have to be of interest as a result. Last year's winner Yeah Man is another with claims.
