Previous results
In depth
Formwatch
Amicable (IRE) Won easily at Chester earlier this term; plenty of weight this time around.
Lunar Crystal (IRE) Behind Dandoun and Aldebaran at Kempton; stepping down in company.
Needwood Blade Consistent over 6f this term; steps up to a mile for the first time.
Emms (USA) First time out this term; stable jockey rides elsewhere
Ecclesiastical Impressive winner of a mile event at Haydock; more to come.
Albuhera (IRE) Improved for being stepped up in trip; cannot be discounted if improves again.
Wannabe Around In the frame for the majority of his three year old outings; looks exposed.
Proletariat On the hat-trick but this is a tough place to do it.
Bakiri (IRE) Winner of a Kempton maiden; promising but has been green in his races so far.
Lapwing (IRE) Comfortable winner at Newmarket last time; may not have beaten too much though.
Top Dirham Picked by Fallon; produced an eye catching run at Epsom when conceeding ground early; looks the one to beat.
Spanish Spur Dropped in trip and won in lower grade at Newbury last time out; booking of Dettori a positive.
Muthaaber Looks like Gosden's second string; something to find on his ninth to Inspector General at Haydock.
Blue Planet (IRE) Gutsy second to Albuhera at Ayr; trainer cannot be discounted in these sorts of races.
Lord Protector (IRE) Second to Ecclesiastical at Haydock; chances at the weights of reversing form.
Nose The Trade Made hay on the all-weather but has a few pounds to find here.
Harewood End Third to Smoothie in a minor heat over ten furlongs; doubts as to whether he is as effective over this trip.
Cashel Bay (USA) Last in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and The Derby; no form to suggest a change of luck this time.
Raheibb (IRE) Won from a poor draw over 7f last time; still looks on the upgrade.
Northfields Dancer (IRE) Largely disappointing this term after fair efforts last year.
Noon Gun Winner of an all-weather maiden (beat Wannabe Around) but disappointed on turf.
Analyser (IRE) Seems to have improved after having visor fitted and cannot be ruled out.
Kai One Winner of a Haydock maiden over 7f; much more on today.
Forest Dancer (IRE) Beaten 2.5 lengths by Reel Buddy at Goodwood over 7f but struggled to see out the mile last time.
Celtic Mission (USA) Busy this term but seems to act better on softer ground.
Stretton (IRE) Chances on his beating of Baccura at York over a mile; effective over 7f to 9f.
Catcando (IRE) Winner of a Bath maiden but disappointed subsequently.
Sylva Storm (USA) Nearer last than first on his starts; ran encouragingly last time out.
Definite Guest (IRE) Ran well in a Lingfield 7f maiden but is yet to impress over a mile.
Caughnawaga (FR) Shaped as if needing a mile and potentially ahead of the handicapper.
