Going - Hurdle: Soft-Heavy in places; Chase: Good to Soft-Soft in places. 

Formscan  - It was heavy going when Knickerbockerglory won this last year, but he could only manage fifth behind GO DANTE when the latter landed the Imperial Cup for the second time back in March. Olly Murphy's charge is only 3lb higher and another bold bid looks on the cards. Afadil finished a close third behind the selection in March and could feature if back to his best, while the progressive Glynn Brae remains of interest having scored over 2m4f here on his reappearance.
