In depth

Formwatch

Lightning Star (USA) Hard to fancy even if the heavens opened in time.

Copyforce Girl Every chance if reproducing last year's form; not shown too much this year but this is more like his trip.

Donatus (IRE) Still a maiden on the flat; able apprentice on board today.

Major Attraction Stable have been farming similar events this term; looks the pick of a very moderate bunch.

Urgent Swift Fair effort to be fourth to Inching Closer over 1m5f; looks to be racing at the sharp end of his distance requirement though.

Aveiro (IRE) Creditable efforts this term but this is about his level.
