Going - Good (Good to Firm in places).

Formscan  - Whatsgoingonmarvin failed to justify short odds when attempting to complete the hat-trick at Ffos Las, but he still finished a fair second and remains of interest. Earnest Belief needs to be monitored in the betting market on his first outing in a handicap, but VALIANCY looks the one to side with. William Haggas' three-year-old got up for third on his handicap debut at Haydock and is just 1lb higher.
