Going - Good to Soft-Soft in places. 

Formscan  - The aptly-named AWORKINPROGRESS clearly benefited from a patient approach over hurdles with Nick Gifford's charge unbeaten in five starts over fences. The six-year-old made a winning return at Lingfield last month and victory here would seal his position near the head of the market for the Welsh National at the end of the month. Makin'yourmindup was last seen in March 2024 and is respected following a wind operation, while Minella Blueway is capable of leaving behind his Cheltenham effort in October.
