Going - Good-Good to Soft in places. 

Formscan  - There was little to separate Calico (first) and MATATA (second) when the pair met over C&D last month, and the latter gets the nod to reverse that form. Nigel Twiston-Davies' prominent racer is very smart on his day and, in this small field off 1lb better terms with Dan Skelton's charge, he gets the vote to dominate proceedings. A winner over 2m at Perth on his final start last term, Gunsight Ridge is respected most of the remainder.
