Going - Good to Soft (Soft in places). 

Formscan  - Hypotenus had everything drop his way when scoring over C&D last week, but whether the same happens on this occasion after a 6lb rise remains to be seen. JAIPALETEMPS has been in fine fettle over the past few months, winning three of his last four starts, and the seven-year-old is taken to continue in a similar vein of form. Doncaster scorer Cuban Court may end up being the main threat to the selection off 3lb higher.
