Previous results
In depth
Formwatch
Beekeeper Beat Arabie on their last meeting but is much worse off at the weights this time.
Mersey Sound (IRE) Significant that Kinane rides today; previously ran in the York Derby trial and would have got closer but for a tardy start.
Hyderabad Second to Perfect Sunday in a Newmarket maiden earlier this year; well held since.
Regatta Point (IRE) Chased home Canada at York last week on good to soft in a slow time.
Tomasino Failed dismally at odds on in a three horse field (Flying Lyric second); will have to bounce back.
Rathkenny (IRE) Beat the useful Modrik at Pontefract last time out in a fair time; appears to need this extra distance.
Border Comet Chosen in preference to Beekeeper by Fallon; caught the eye at Windsor last time out.
Elmonjed (USA) Selected by Richard Hills in preference to Alowmdah; second in a Haydock Rated Stakes looks solid form
Compton Commander Winner at Chester over 1m4.5f (Flying Lyric behind); should handle the ground.
Flying Lyric (IRE) Reopposes Compton Commander today at better terms; will need to improve to win this.
Alowmdah (USA) Overturned a Barry Hills hotpot at Chester but rejected by Richard Hills.
Continuation (IRE) Beaten 7l by Bosham Mill over 1m4f earlier in the season; back up to this trip today.
Dance On The Top Ran on last time over nine furlongs; may be suited by this longer trip; acts on fast.
Arabie Won his handicap debut at Windsor (Second beaten since); has conditions to turn around his defeat by Beekeeper.
Balladeer (IRE) Winner of a Windsor handicap on good to firm; seems to be suited by this trip.
Tiyoun (IRE) Well beaten in a muddling affair at York; others preferred here.
Triphenia (IRE) Not disgraced when up against more experienced rivals at Beverley.
Norway (USA) Still a maiden; up in trip but MJ Kinane rides elsewhere.
Denise Margaret (IRE) Won at Brighton over nine furlongs; tougher assignment in this company.
Mumbling (IRE) Progressed nicely throughout the season; should have no problems with trip or ground.
