Going - Good to Soft (Good in places). 

Formscan  - Having travelled with verve when lifting his second Greatwood Gold Cup over C&D, HELTENHAM may take some stopping in his bid to land this race for the third time. The runner-up subsequently franked the form with a close-up fourth in the Ultima, while the third scored at Kempton. Prairie Wolf regained the winning thread at Newcastle last month and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Knappers Hill, who lurks on an attractive mark.
