Going - Good to Soft (Good in places). 
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - Bashful has solid claims based on his progressive profile over hurdles, while Simple Star was a winner over C&D on his latest start in this discipline and is another strong contender. However, the vote goes to fellow last-time-out winner KLITSCHKO, who scored in a relatively cosy manner under Brian Hughes at Sedgefield and a 5lb higher rating might not be enough to prevent the retained partnership from following up. Highlands Legacy and Maple are other each-way options.
