In depth
Formwatch
Boanerges (IRE) Starts the season on a winning mark but best form is on fast ground and he may just need this.
Tadeo Form has gradually deteriorated in recent years and has not won for a long time now.
Ivory Dawn Often goes well here but has been off for a while and usually needs her first run of the season.
Dunedin Rascal Ex-Irish, made eye-catching late gains at Epsom in better race last time. Very interesting over this slightly longer trip.
Labrett Flew from last to first on all-weather debut recently and holds Dunedin Rascal on that form. May be back to best and if so he is definitely well-handicapped.
Sylva Paradise (IRE) Fair effort when second on reappearance here, but this looks no easier and others are preferred again.
Dilkusha (IRE) Not won for a long time and best form is definitely on fast ground.
Mister Mal (IRE) Ran really well behind Cadeaux Cher at Doncaster, subsequently disappointing on all-weather. Best form is over 7f though and may find this a bit on the sharp side.
Port St Charles (IRE) Improved effort on heavy ground at Folkestone latest, but still a maiden and this is a big ask.
Sarena Special Has even tried hurdles recently but impossible to fancy on what he has achieved of late.
James Dee (IRE) Course and distance winner on firm ground, but that was only a claimer and has his work cut out in this company.
Betty Bathwick (IRE) Shock winner of a Catterick maiden last year, but even that form may not be good enough and has shown little on all-weather.
Master Luke Well beaten on heavy ground at Folkestone and overall level of form does not look good enough.
Rafters Music (IRE) Winner on heavy at Folkestone latest start, with subsequent scorer Charming Lotte third and Master Luke held in fifth. On a hat-trick after earlier win on sand and obvious claims.
Swino Decent winner in heavy last time but a line through the third suggests he has a hard task with Rafters Music at these weights.
Sharp Edge Boy Has failed to sparkle much for a couple of years and easy to oppose.
Second Generation (IRE) Very moderate maiden. Stiff task.
Another Victim Still a maiden and if he does get off the mark it is likely to be over the minimum trip rather than this.
