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

Formscan  - MAHARAJAS EXPRESS can be marked up for his recent success over C&D, given he was drawn wide. Ian Williams' charge hasn't had much luck with the draw once again, but looks worth sticking with in his current frame of mind and can confirm that form with third-placed Acrisius. The latter should prove competitive once again, while the speedy Over Spiced is drawn on the rail and cannot be ruled out with any confidence either.
