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

Formscan  - Tuscan Point scored on the Polytrack here last time, having gone close when runner-up at Catterick prior to that. Birkenhead (third) has a bit to find with the former on running at Catterick, so the vote goes the way of MAHARAJAS EXPRESS. Ian Williams' charge ran fresh over 6f here on his return to the fray, but he looks on a tempting mark back over the minimum trip on the evidence of last season's success at Chester, so he gets the nod.
