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

Formscan  - Heyzoom won what looked a strong Newbury maiden and must be of interest going handicapping for the first time for an in-form stable. He's 3lb well-in and ought to go well but preference is for INTO THE LIGHT, who got within a short head of subsequent London Gold Cup winner Lost Boys when finishing a solid second at Sandown in April. Joulany finished half-a-length third to Maltese Cross at Newbury and that form looks really strong following the winner's second-placed effort in the Derby. Now gelded, Ralph Beckett's inmate is noted in a first-time tongue-tie, and his stable companion Tierra Del Toro comes into the reckoning too.
