In depth

Formwatch

Gold Guest Exposed but useful sort who was outpaced over minimum in Windsor Castle and met well-regarded types latest two outings; must have every chance over this trip and Kinane a bonus.

Lady High Havens (IRE) Excelled herself when just touched off in Cherry Hinton latest; pedigree suggests this extra furlong will suit; should go well although best form so far with give in the ground.

Lake Verdi (IRE) Dual winner who flopped in Coventry Stakes but bounced back with fair effort under topweight in nursery latest; more exposed than most but still has to be respected.

Aligatou Beaten odds-on favourite over this trip in Warwick maiden leaves him with something to prove here.

Eastern Hope (IRE) Will win races in due course but appears outclassed here.

Eastern Royal Showed some promise on debut but will need to improve significantly to feature.

Young Lion Improving type who is on to the hat trick but step up in both class and trip will make this a tougher assignment.

Sea Jade (IRE) Hard to fancy on debut effort.

Dowhatjen Showed benefit of debut when comfortable maiden-auction winner at Bath; more needed here and stamina a big concern.

Playful Spirit Unbeaten and progressing along the right lines to win well contest minor event at Salisbury with something to spare latest; trip should be no problem and will be hard to beat off low weight.

Reefs Sis Won weak Hamilton maiden penultimate but four lengths behind Young Lion at Pontefract and now 3lb worse off.
