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

Formscan  - Golden Handshake, Fantasy World, Talismans Time and Pole Star are all bidding for hat-tricks, with slight preference of those for the Charlie Johnston-trained latter after his Yarmouth success last month. However, they might have to play supporting roles behind TARRIANCE, who has progressed in his four outings. The son of Frankel made a winning start in handicap company at Sandown and a 4lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side. With lots of improvement to come, he looks the one to side with.
