Going - Good to Soft (Soft in places). 

Formscan  - Hoe Joly Smoke has been running well in defeat in competitive handicaps this season and is likely to be in the mix once again. That said, preference is for KATATE DORI, who bolted up in this race 12 months ago. Sam Thomas' gelding is 11lb higher now, but his close second at Cheltenham last time shows that he can be successful off this sort of mark. Leader In The Park edges out Kdeux Saint Fray and The Doyen Chief to be next best.
