Going - Good to Soft (Good in places).

Formscan  - Vivid Pink occupied the runner-up spot at Huntingdon last month and should remain competitive off an unchanged mark. However, the vote goes to PRAIRIE DIAMOND, who accounted for Sassified by over four lengths at Wincanton last week and it's hard to see that form being overturned. He escapes a penalty so with a repeat of that performance, he will prove very difficult to beat. Zhang Fei is another to consider after his second at Stratford.
