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

Formscan  - Hype Merchant is interesting on his first start for Roger Fell after leaving the David Loughnane yard and if first-time cheekpieces and new surroundings bring improvement, he can go close in a tight contest. BARMYBLADE is just preferred, though, and with two wins from three starts this season, the latest here off 7lb lower, he could be difficult to reel in. Sanbona has more to do after his Redcar third, but may fill the same position.
