Going - Hurdle: Heavy; Chase: Soft-Heavy in places. 

Formscan  - Jax Junior has to be respected on his handicap debut following a wind operation since his last appearance. That said, a chance can be taken on GUNSIGHT RIDGE, who has not been at his best of late but that means that he arrives here on the same mark as when successful in this contest 12 months ago. The consistent Escapeandevade edges out Dr T J Eckleburg and Kotmask to be best of the rest.
