Going - Good to Soft (Good in places).

Formscan  - Smile John Boy looked a nice prospect when winning one of these on his Hereford debut, but this is tougher now he's got the penalty to contend with and slight preference is for RISKY OBSESSION. Dan Skelton's inmate won a point-to-point earlier in the year and should be ready to go on his Rules debut given his powerful connections. Midnight Doyen is also noted.
