In depth
Formwatch
Blue Gold Consistent performer but will need to step up on recent efforts to play a serious role in this trappy event.
Albarahin (USA) Ran about 20lbs below his best at Newmarket last time but still won easily; should take this in a canter if running to his best.
Delius (USA) Good third at Kempton last time out and capable of improving again but might find the favourite hard to beat if on song.
Lord Advocate Hopelessly outclassed but a crowd favourite.
Esyoueffcee (IRE) Stable star who is capable of winning this if favourite fails to sparkle; suited by soft surface.
