Going - Good to Soft-Soft in places. 

Formscan  - BITSNBUCKLES resumes from a break on a workable mark and looks a key player with Sean Bowen in the saddle. The partnership was narrowly touched off in a stronger race at Wetherby when last seen and, in representing the in-form Olly Murphy yard, this still low-mileage seven-year-old could be well placed to get his new campaign off to a flyer. Nazare also has plenty of scope for improvement and warrants close inspection on just his third start over hurdles. Matoury is another to consider.
