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

Formscan  - Media Shooter improved for the application of cheekpieces when scoring well at Musselburgh on his final start of last season and could have a say on his return to the fray. However, MAKANAH hit the crossbar in a stronger event at Newcastle in November and was possibly unlucky not to win because of his troubled passage. The 10-year-old can go well fresh and is taken to record a second course success. Secret Guest is the pick of the remainder.
