In depth
Formwatch
Mutafaweq (USA) Beat Wellbeing under a spectacular Dettori drive last time; may struggle to repeat it under a penalty.
Adilabad (USA) Flopped at Sandown in Brigadier Gerard stakes; definite ability but is he quite good enough here?
Lucido (IRE) Done nothing wrong this term but hasn't encountered this sort of ground for over two years.
Sandmason Looks like a professional bridesmaid at the moment; probable Cecil second string.
Wellbeing Foiled by a tactical Dettori ride last time but should go close at these terms.
Zindabad (FR) Shown much improved form with Johnston this term; looks a few pounds below this class.
Rada's Daughter Fair performer up to 1m6f but outclassed here.
Compton Admiral Not knocked about on reappearance from a long absence; has the class but does he retain the ability?
