Going - Good to Firm (Firm in places).

Formscan  - BEST ADVENTURE showed a big chunk of improvement in a first-time tongue-tie to readily take care of his eight rivals over C&D last month. The son of Frankel may have been let off lightly with only a 6lb rise for that performance and he could prove tough to beat. Top-weight Arabian Light is respected based on his third at Newmarket two starts ago and a repeat of that display would see him in the mix. Nebras is another to keep an eye on.
