In depth
Formwatch
Sir Ninja (IRE) Down the field in the Lincoln and hasn't really fired so far this term; worth opposing.
Welsh Wind (IRE) No form to date on soft ground but should be better for A/W pipe-opener.
Willoughby's Boy (IRE) Progressed well last term and is sure to win his share of races this year; however yet to encounter soft ground and his ability to cope must be taken on trust.
J R Stevenson (USA) Ran poorly most starts last year but has come down the weights as a consequence and starts this term on a fair mark; possible each-way chance.
Floating Charge Improved throughout last years and handles any going; sure to go close if fit enough on his seasonal bow.
Norfolk Reed (IRE) Decent top of the ground performer who might find the going against him on his seasonal reappearance.
Indian Plume Front runner who goes on any ground; should be suited by the course and could go well for new connections on seasonal bow.
Iron Mountain (IRE) Fit from hurdling and relishes the conditions; sure to give a good account of himself.
Arribilo (GER) Ex-German handicapper who has shown only modest form so far for new connections; others make more appeal.
Cote Soleil Highly tried on occasions last term and has fallen to a fair mark; handles soft ground well and is sure to give supporters a good run for their money.
Prince Minata (IRE) Ex-Irish; scored shock success on A/W before coming down to earth with a bang when last of ten latest and is hard to fancy.
Cork Harbour (FR) Fit from hurdling and won his maiden here in soft ground; no forlorn hope.
Dixie Island (USA) ex-French racer; has shown some promise on the A/W this year but needs to improve to figure in the finish here.
Roller Ideally suited by the soft and ran well in a spin at Lingfield last time out; sure to be straighter now he comes here with a fine each-way chance.
Stoppes Brow Top of the ground horse who is unlikely to be suited by the prevailing conditions.
