Going - Good to Soft (Soft in places). 

Formscan  - A confident vote goes to COOLER THAN ME, who made it two from two in handicaps with a facile C&D win a fortnight ago. Fergal O'Brien's charge had Talap well in arrears that day and a 9lb rise shouldn't be enough to halt further progress. Marhaba Million was no slouch on the Flat and cannot be ruled out, whilst Diamond Days should be happier back over hurdles.
