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

Formscan  - Kihavah took the Queen's Cup on his return to the Flat and is likely to have his supporters under a 4lb penalty. Liam Swagger is also considered after his third at Chelmsford but the vote goes to ALIGN THE STARS, who ran too badly to be true when finishing stone last behind Kihavah at Musselburgh. Charlie Johnston's four-year-old was victorious in hot handicaps last season and may still have room for manoeuvre off his current mark. Artistic Star is another to keep an eye on.
