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

Formscan  - SAILTHISSHIPALONE was only outpointed in the closing stages when finishing fourth over a mile in a competitive handicap at York last month and, stepping back to 7f off an unchanged mark, Richard Fahey's charge gets the vote to show his rivals the way home. Persuasion was narrowly denied over 7f at Doncaster latest and he is respected off 1lb higher, while a 5lb rise for a recent Haydock victory doesn't discount Cerulean Bay and he completes the shortlist.
