In depth
Formwatch
Petit Marquis (FR) Best effort in defeat over an extended mile at Haydock last time out; trainer in good form and should go well.
Nashaab (USA) Not suited by a soft surface and may struggle against some soft ground specialist; in good form however and may sneak a place.
Diamond Max (IRE) Ran well on soft last time at Chepstow; slight improvement needed but has been doing so all season.
Sir Ferbet (IRE) Has been off for a long time and may struggle in such a competitive event.
Mornings Minion Suited by a softish surface and in good form of late; definite chance for in form trainer.
Thihn (IRE) Very consistent and capable on his day; probably better on a firmer surface so others preferred.
Salty Jack (IRE) Consistent miler but will need to improve on recent efforts to play a role here.
Tony Tie Credit to his trainer but just looks too high in the weights at present.
Noble Pursuit Two good recent solid efforts including last time out on a softish surface; could surprise at a decent price.
Finished Article (IRE) Step down in trip not sure to suit but will handle the ground and could sneak a place.
Scottish Spice Excellent effort last time at Sandown on soft ground gives this horse a good chance for in form trainer.
Nigrasine Won over a mile for the first time in a long time last time out and could struggle against mile specialists here.
Norfolk Reed (IRE) Early season form would give him an excellent chance but never proved he handles soft ground.
Forest Dancer (IRE) Generally consistent and improving but looks a little below this level.
Adobe Poor run last time out is very worrying and would not want it too soft; others preferred.
Den's-Joy Not suited by soft and needs improvement on balance of form.
Just Nick Poor effort last time and not one to rely upon in such a competitive event.
Melodian Has won on heavy ground and probably been laid out for this event; very good chance for stable slowly coming back to form.
Dennis El Menace Generally an unlucky horse who meets trouble in running; will find things tough today.
Unshaken Fairly consistent and will not mind any cut although best form has come on a fast surface.
Naviasky (IRE) If reproducing form of run at Goodwood last time out then will be in the firing line; probably would not want it too soft.
Hail The Chief Not the horse he is on the dirt and disappointed last time out when having every chance on the form book; best avoided here.
Knocktopher Abbey In and out performer who will appreciate any cut; good chance if he is in the mood.
Silk St John Has been knocking on the door for a while now; handles any surface, will run well but probably not win.
Lady Bear (IRE) Has indicated of late that a mile is too short these days and will find things tough against more experienced rivals.
Shush Step back in trip not ideal and others preferred.
Martin's Sunset Some fair efforts but looks to be unsuited by a soft surface.
Tornado Prince (IRE) Won by nine lengths here last season on a soft surface; stable could be in better form but holds every chance.
Dakota Sioux (IRE) Chance on Thirsk run earlier this season but ran poorly last time out at Haydock and is best avoided here.
College Rock Frustrating type who can be very good on his day; has run well on soft but would prefer it firmer.
Deceitful Some fair efforts this season give him a chance but is unproven on a soft surface.
Muyassir (IRE) Would go close at his very best but below par last time out and could;d struggle in this ground.
