Going - Heavy (Hurdle); Soft (Chase). Showery

Formscan By Tom Weekes - Top-class LOSSIEMOUTH has an excellent win-record and can confirm Christmas-placings with Brighterdaysahead and Anzadam. While most of her form had been on a sound surface, she coped with soft-to-heavy when scoring at Punchestown in November and her proven stamina will help on today’s worse conditions. Brighterdaysahead also has winning heavy-ground form and while only a length behind Lossiemouth on her Christmas-reappearance, is fractionally less reliable. Connections of tearaway Anzadam will either, again, hope to anchor him or else could opt to make the running. He was much too keen at Christmas but wasn’t beaten far and has an excellent jumping technique.
