Going - Hurdle: Good-Good to Soft in places; Chase: Good to Soft-Good in places. 

Formscan  - Sun Lady Marine rates as the most interesting contender in the line-up on her first start in the UK for the Paula Smith team and a market check is strongly advised. Bucephalus reaches for first-time cheekpieces in the hope of bringing out improvement, but SERIOUS CHALLENGE appeals most. Fergal O'Brien's charge lost his action when pulled up in the Greatwood at Cheltenham, but finished a fair fourth at Aintree prior and he could bounce back to score.
