        Formwatch

        Aldwych Second to Potemkin at Newmarket over 1m2f but Musha Merr accounted for him previously.

        Golden Wells (IRE) Progressed throughout the year; cannot rule out the Johnston horses but 4lb to find on Snowstorm.

        Gryffindor Struggled over 11f against Asian Heights; readily discounted in this company.

        Herodotus Sprang a 25/1 surprise on the soft at Kempton but yet to sparkle on faster ground.

        King Carew (IRE) Eleventh in the Derby last time out; others preferred.

        Londoner (USA) Beaten 1.5l by Musha Merr at York over 1m2f; will need to improve on that to figure today.

        Lucayan Chief (IRE) Sixth to Potemkin last time but has it all to do here.

        Milan Fifth in the French Derby; O'Brien team in cracking form; should win if progressing.

        Musha Merr (IRE) Pulled hard in the French Derby (finished 12th); battled well at York previously over 1m2f; chance.

        Snowstorm Second in Chester Vase to Mr Combustible; third to Asian Heights; could make the frame.

        Storming Home Not disgraced behind Galileo in the Derby; should give a good account again today.

        Theatre Script (USA) Up to 1m4f for the first time; failed to quicken over 1m2f last time but still unexposed.
