Going - Good to Soft (Soft in places). 

Formscan  - THE KING OF MAY is already a dual course winner and looks worth chancing off a handy mark after a promising return from a break at Hexham 15 days ago. Pilgrims King also warrants close inspection after a respectable third-placed finish over 2m5f here last month, while Jelski is a previous C&D winner who won't need to raise his game by much in order to be involved.
