Going - Good to Firm (Good in places). 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - Probe regained the winning thread in this class at Chester last week and is likely to have his supporters off just 3lb higher. However, DESERT FALCON signed off his 2024 campaign with a double after supplementing a C&D triumph at Ayr in September. If the five-year-old returns in similar form, he may prove tough to beat. Documenting is another to watch out for.
