Going - Good (Good to Soft in places). 
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - Copperhead rounded off last season in good form and chases a hat-trick after returning with an emphatic victory in a similar veterans' series event at Chepstow 16 days ago. A 5lb higher mark looks fair and another bold showing is likely. However, FORTESCUE has been given a chance by the handicapper despite running well in defeat several times last term. Off 8lb below his last winning mark, Henry Daly's 10-year-old is an attractive proposition. The class-dropping Torn And Frayed can also figure.
