Going - Good.

Formscan  - OUR LAURA B gave a good account off top-weight when denied by a nose at Ludlow last time out and may go one better in this contest. The in-form five-year-old has only been handed a 1lb rise for that effort and gets the nod to record a second win over course and distance. Starlyte failed to justify favouritism in deeper waters on her latest outing but rates the most immediate now eased in grade, while Theirshegoes is another to consider.
