In depth
Formwatch
Rambagh Handles soft ground and should appreciate today's trip; stable have always to be respected here and is sure to have plenty of supporters.
Alfano (IRE) Best effort in three outings last term was when a close fifth here and has a squeak on that form; each-way possible.
Marshal Bond Scored over a mile at Musselburgh last time and his style of racing suggest the trip today should be no problem; handles the ground and has a top jockey in the plate.
Trusted Mole (IRE) In and out performer last season and ran poorly both starts on the soft; hard to enthuse about.
Wattno Eljohn (IRE) Fit front he A/W and ran really well when third to Tamiami Trail at Doncaster staying on well in the soft ground; likely to go close if handling the undulations.
Investor Relations (IRE) Three quiet runs last term and starts the season on a fair mark; market should prove best guide.
Nelsons Flagship Showed little in varied company last year and appears to have plenty of weight for what he's achieved.
Twilight Dancer (IRE) Looked one to keep an eye on this season with promise shown on all outings last year; should benefit from the trip and will handle the ground.
The Fairy Flag (IRE) Modest form so far and doesn't look good enough.
Zafilly Little form so far and was beaten in selling company last season; needs to improve significantly.
Blue Orleans Didn't show a great deal last year and encounters soft ground for the first time today; unlikely winner.
Mujalia (IRE) Won a Lingfield claimer before running respectably on the same course in handicap company latest; can go on the soft and is not without a chance.
Moments In Time Well beaten in selling company and looks to have far too much to do here.
Balanou Improved form over the winter and scored in good style latest in Wolverhampton handicap; could be more to come and is on a fair mark.
Grandma Griffiths No show in maiden company last year and needs to improve significantly to be considered here.
Credenza Moment Modest form and was beaten in a seller last time; others make far more appeal.
Armida Poor form and connections are struggling to find her right trip.
Desire Me Plating form at best and this looks too hot to handle.
Faraway John (IRE) Bad plaiter; no chance.
