Formscan - Although RIVIERE D'ETEL failed to justify favouritism last time out in Grade 2 company, the five-year-old was by no means disgraced in second and can make amends today. Despite making a costly error at the second-last obstacle, the consistent mare ran on close home and may capitalise in these calmer waters. Zambella gave a good account when runner-up at Market Rasen on her latest outing and merits plenty of consideration. Annie Mc was only seen once last term but is worthy of respect after an absence.
