Going - Good.

Formscan  - Plenty can be given a chance, including last year's winner Scarface. He bids to repeat off a 2lb higher mark, while Tahmuras bounced back with a respectable second at Windsor and is potentially well handicapped. However, CALIMYSTIC remains unexposed over fences having won both starts over the larger obstacles so far. Nicky Henderson's charge scored a shade cosily at Sandown and a 6lb rise may not be enough to halt his good progress.
