Going - Good to Soft-Soft in places. 

Formscan  - BAD has shown a liking for this venue in the past and following a respectable fifth in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham, the six-year-old has a good chance of making the most of a drop in class back here. The returning Matterhorn should be capable making an impact off just 4lb higher than for his Uttoxeter success when last seen. Rare Edition and The Famous Five are interesting alternatives to consider.
