In depth

Formwatch

Tamiami Trail (IRE) Closely matched with Compton Commander on their Bath running.

Compton Commander Stable in cracking form and despite slight weight disadvantage should go close.

Smyslov Looks just the type to do well at this trip and is one for the short list.

Johnson's Point Stayed on well in nursery here last October and should pay her way for new trainer.

Morshid (USA) A bit high in the weights for handicap campaign.

Homelife (IRE) Won prep race for this at Wolverhampton after a break and can make fitness tell.

Dardanus Should not reverse form with Homelife even on revised terms.

Stretton (IRE) Has been running well at Cagnes-sur-Mer.

Kumakawa Not been doing badly on the all-weather and has the scope to improve.

Espana Outclassed weak opposition at Wolverhampton and this is tougher.

Duc's Dream Not overburdened judged on his Southwell success.

Look First (IRE) Needs to improve a lot on his run behind Homelife to figure.

First Steps (IRE) Wolverhampton maiden was not a bad effort and the trip will suit.

Wattno Eljohn (IRE) Only win came in seller at bath last term and looks up against it here.

Thorntoun Dancer Fair second in nursery at Ayr last October and will come on for run.

River of Fire Leicester nursery scorer on fast ground, trip and ground against him here.

Starry Mary Inexperienced, and can learn from this.

Jalons Star (IRE) Shown nothing in seven starts and would be a big surprise if he popped in.
