In depth
Formwatch
Guru Failed to build on encouraging reappearance run at Salisbury and is not hard to pass over today.
Agnes For Ransom (USA) Best efforts so far have come with some cut in the ground but this half sister to Seattle Ryme was eased considerably when she met trouble in running last time and should not be ruled out too quickly.
Swordplay Has course experience and should find the trip and going to his liking, a definite for the short-list.
Shabaab Can set the pace but has been found wanting for a turn off foot in recent events, others preferred
Reviewer (IRE) Would prefer some cut but did not fare too badly on firmer ground at Windsor last month, another to consider.
Gold Standard (IRE) A steady improver but there is a suspicion he may need longer between his races at the moment.
Dome Improved effort last time out but fitting of a visor for the first time today dampens confidence a touch.
Star of Wonder Bred for middle distances but is yet to trouble the judge in six efforts and is best watched.
Court One Looks held by others today and easily passed over.
Sashay Makes very little appeal.
