Previous results
In depth
Formwatch
Sugarfoot Has battled with the best of the milers; disappointed last time but should run a game race.
Soviet Flash (IRE) Third in an Epsom Group 3 and had Tough Speed behind him over 1m at York; Dettori deserts him today.
Tough Speed (USA) Likely favourite; trainer and jockey won this last year but the horse has never won over a mile.
Mastermind (IRE) Improved this year to win at Newbury; twice had the better of the useful Pulau Tioman but can he improve again.
Blue Mountain Not beaten far by Swallow Flight at Windsor over 1m; yet to win over this distance.
Calcutta On his best behaviour this term; 10lb higher than his previous highest winning mark.
Vintage Premium Has improved since gelding; visored today for first time.
Duke of Modena Tackles a mile for the first time; suited by the ground.
Crimson Tide (IRE) Successfully campaigned on the all-weather; may find this trip too short.
Muchea Evergreen performer; always runs well without getting his head in front.
Montecastillo (IRE) Fair form in Ireland; Pat Eddery rides today.
Border Subject Largely progressive in his races so far; will stay this distance.
Surprise Encounter Winner over 7f at Doncaster; preferred to Soviet Flash by Dettori.
J R Stevenson (USA) Won over a mile at Brighton; more on his plate here.
Camberley (IRE) First string of the Cole runners; ante post money suggests he has a live chance.
Big Future Talented individual; best form is on 7f rather than this trip.
Peacock Alley (IRE) Out of form this term; stable has been in cracking form recently.
Bold King Fair performer. Appears better suited by softer ground.
Krato (USA) No form in sprints this year; previously successful in America over this trip.
Celebration Town (IRE) Won over this trip at York; best form is on softer ground.
Mana-Mou Bay (IRE) Plenty to find on form.
Kirovski (IRE) Course and distance winner; more competitive event today.
Kilkenny Castle (IRE) Unplaced on return from a long absence; all to do here.
Atavus Winner of a Newmarket handicap; still unexposed.
Peartree House (IRE) Struggled in weaker handicaps this term.
Sir Ferbet (IRE) Well beaten at Windsor; has a chance on earlier form.
Choto Mate (IRE) Won over 7f at Sandown; may not be good enough in this company.
Silverware (IRE) Won over a mile at the Curragh; never won off this mark.
Worldly Treasure (USA) Bits of form over 7f; blinkered for the first time.
Parisien Star (IRE) Ran well last time out; booking of Jimmy Quinn a positive.
Nimello (USA) A revelation in the early part of the season; conditions against him today and Fortune prefers Camberley.
Man O'Mystery (USA) Has performed creditably over further distances; difficult task today.
