In depth

Formwatch

Wave of Optimism Lightly raced this season but probably a better proposition on softer ground.

Among Equals An interesting runner but best form looks to have come on a softer surface.

Spunkie Probable pipe opener before a campaign over timber this winter.

Accepting Winner of a Musselburgh two miler but that looks a weak affair compared to this.

Seliana Has no problem with the longer distances but worrying that there's been a five month gap since last run.

Monte Carlo (IRE) Disappointing since landing the Zetland Stakes as a juvenile; no longer with Richard Hannon these days.

Red Ramona Is very interesting off this mark and any market move should be noted.

Juyush (USA) Veteran hurdler who shouldn't be good enough to win this.

Palua Third in a tactical two miler at Newbury; possibilities.

Flying Lyric (IRE) Suspicion that the ground might be too quick for him.

Lord Joshua (IRE) Won over 1m6f; market to be watched.

Homelife (IRE) Beat King Flyer over 2m but this is a tougher affair.

Seattle Prince (USA) Looks a doubtful stayer on balance of form.

Woodyates Seemed to relish the step up to two miles latest; could be worth an each-way punt today.

Establishment First time over the trip and no previous aptitude for staying shown on the racetrack.

Opportune (GER) Out of the handicap but wouldn't be too surprised to see a bold show.

Harlestone Grey Fair third behind Artillery at York but taking on this trip for the first time.

Abyssinian Wolf Interesting that trainer has decided to step him up to 2miles; will like ground.
