In depth
Formwatch
Wings of Soul (USA) Disappointing since runner-up at Kempton maiden in May. Could return to form after two-month break.
Polish Off Close third at Pontefract last week and knows how to get head in front. Every chance.
Irvington (IRE) Won over nine furlongs at Newbury in August, but has struggled since. Inconsistent.
Nashira Outpaced at Epsom recently after a year off the track. May have needed the outing. Best watched.
Oomph Won maiden at Newcastle in July. Needed her last race at Yarmouth earlier this month. Every chance.
Figura Shown no form to date. Best watched.
Carbon Copy Always thereabouts and useful win at Warwick recently should boost confidence. Dangerous.
Stoli (IRE) Showed no form before win at Chepstow recently. Could go either way.
Cripsey Brook Inconsistent and Brighton win not particularly convincing. Best watched.
Dollar King (IRE) Won at Redcar over nine furlongs in August, but disappointing since. Beaten by Stoli in last outing. Unfancied.
Patavellian (IRE) Outpaced last time out and well behind on both occasions when placed. Not fancied.
Floot Won over distance at Nottingham earlier this season, but indifferent form since. Top four chance.
Meriden Mist Never out of top six, but doesn't do enough to challenge. Best watched.
Kilmeny (IRE) Good win over distance at Haydock last month, but poor since. Just over a week since last run. Placing chances.
Devolution (IRE) Not shown much to get excited about to date. Best left alone.
Drama Premiere Very inconsistent this season. Has won over the distance at Haydock, but 13th out of 14 at Kempton recently. Outside chance.
Dream Magic Two good races over a mile this month, including Goodwood win. Goes well for jockey. Every chance.
Cloudy Improving for every run, but a lot to prove in this company. Outside chance.
Dennis Our Menace Yet to win and either good or very poor. Best left alone.
Music Maid (IRE) Not impressive to date. Will need vast improvement to feature here.
Beauchamp Pilot Not shown much so far. Poor when last raced over a mile last year. Best watched.
Wattno Eljohn (IRE) Only one win in 17 appearances, yet never far away. Placing chances.
Jools A couple of good consecutive wins at Newmarket this season, and not far away since. Has to be fancied to score again soon.
Hub Hub Inconsistent sort. Likely to struggle in this field.
The Chocolatier (IRE) Won a Salisbury mile back in July, but off the boil since. Found some speed towards finish at Newcastle last time out. Outside chance.
Woodfield Improving for every run, but no experience of getting nose in front.
Street Life (IRE) Best finish at Nottingham recently, third behind Madame Jones. Not fancied.
Broughtons Motto Tends to get outpaced in the race to the line. Couple of runner-up places do not inspire confidence.
Bronx Bomber Nothing to inspire confidence to date. Best watched.
Classic Millennium Inconsistent season so far, but plenty of potential. Outside chance.
Le Fantasme Poor season to date. Not fancied on present form.
