Going - Good to Soft-Soft in places. 

Formscan  - MA SHANTOU landed a competitive handicap at Cheltenham on last month's comeback. Emma Lavelle's charge is taken defy a 9lb rise given the ease of that success and edge out Ace Of Spades over this trip. The latter scored over 2m4f at Aintree on his reappearance and is likely to prove competitive once again, while Horaces Pearl makes his handicap debut having placed in Listed company at Perth back in April.
