Going - Good to Soft.

Formscan  - Is This For Real was the convincing winner of a maiden hurdle at Newcastle and is potentially well treated for his handicap debut. Having previously won a point-to-point over 2m4f, stepping up in trip could also be rewarding. However, the same can be said of KING ULANDA, who has improved since undergoing wind surgery and looked in need of a sterner test when filling the runner-up berth behind an in-form rival here. The Cistercian and Sunray Shadow complete the shortlist.
