Going - Good to Soft-Soft in places on Chase course. 

Formscan  - PROTEKTORAT has bundles in hand based on official ratings and looks well placed to give his yard back-to-back winners of this race, while priming himself for a possible tilt at the Ryanair at Cheltenham in 12 days time. Minella Drama has been below his best of late, but he is a previous course winner who could be tough to reel in granted an easy lead. Ain't That A Shame resumes for a new stable after a 686-day break, but he can better Stolen Silver for third.
