Going - Good to Soft (Good in places).

Formscan  - TRAILBLAZER was the comfortable winner of a similar race at Sedgefield 13 days ago and assuming this doesn't come around too quickly, a 6lb higher rating looks very manageable in this company. Heart Above has been reliable of late and is another attractive proposition on these terms. Gemini Man, Platin Moon and Brindley are all still of low mileage and all merit betting checks given their scope for further progression.
