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

Formscan  - Atlantic Gamble has won six races, five over the mile, and although not at his best so far this season, he could go well under Hollie Doyle. Golden Ocean ended last season with two wins at Navan and she looks interesting on her first start for David Menuisier, but a chance is taken on WHIP CRACKER. Dropped in class after finishing ninth at Thirsk, first-time cheekpieces are tried off a 2lb lower mark and, with Ryan Moore booked to ride, he may have more going for him than it appears at first glance.
