In depth
Formwatch
Friar Tuck Will appreciate cut in ground but has tough task under topweight.
College Maid (IRE) Genuine and tough filly; won latest but has taken 9lb hike up weights for recent efforts so looks up against it here.
Gdansk (IRE) Just 3lb higher than solid 2nd in similar contest at Hamilton penultimate; poorly drawn latest; should go close.
Desraya (IRE) Well treated on last season's winning form but has been disappointing of late; wears visor for first time.
Ryefield Goes particularly well on local track (won four times here); not disgraced in better company latest; has each way chance.
Czar Wars Won competitive handicap latest in pleasing fashion; has turn of foot and may defy subsequent 6lb rise.
Storyteller (IRE) Out of form at present.
Grey Cossack Poor strike rate and difficult to consider seriously off current mark.
Pipadash (IRE) Top jockey booked but has failed to sparkle of late; others preferred.
Bundy Consistent type who is fairly treated on pick of form; should be thereabouts once again.
Able Ayr Hard to enthuse over judged on latest efforts.
Sharoura Thrown in on best but is on a long losing sequence.
Peppiatt Mainly below par this term.
