In depth
Formwatch
Pulau Pinang (IRE) Showed improved form when dropped back to this trip last time; should be capable of following up in this company.
Xibalba Struggled in weaker company last term; best watched here.
Noble Pasao (IRE) Has done his best work over longer distances and on softer ground; up against it.
Nathan's Boy Beaten 6l by Pulau Pinang at Sandown over 1m2f; performed creditably since but will probably need to improve to reverse placings.
Cusin Fair effort in a Classified Stakes last time; this looks a tougher contest.
Green Casket (IRE) Weakened over 1m1f on reappearance from a long absence; has it to do but trainer shouldn't be underestimated.
Brave Knight Little encouragement on reappearance.
Rampart Plenty to do on the formbook.
