Going - Good. 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - CAPO VATICANO has bags of pace, but spoilt her chances with a slow start at Newmarket on her handicap debut. Andrew Balding's unexposed filly will know more today and is taken to exploit a favourable draw if quickly away. Call Glory reverts to the minimum trip with a shout off his current handicap mark, while Balon D'or may improve for the addition of blinkers and is preferred to Wolverhampton third Fair Taxes, who has an outside draw to contend with.
