Going - Good to Soft. 
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - CENTARA showed enough promise on his hurdling debut at Newbury at the beginning of the month to suggest that he can be successful in a race of this nature. Long Draw was second in an Irish point in March and should not be underestimated on his first start under Rules. French Flat winner Nila edges out Thunder N Lightnin to be the pick of the rest.
