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

Formscan  - Go Victor kept on well to win over 6f at Thirsk and appeals off 4lb higher, while Sporting Light's recent second-placed finish at Catterick was encouraging enough for him to make the shortlist. The vote, however, goes to SOMEBODY, who filled the runner-up slot behind a promising filly in a deeper race at Chelmsford. Heavily backed on that occasion, Richard Spencer's youngster has since been gelded and can reward any faithful support.
