In depth
Formwatch
Dancing Dill Went well over half a mile further in heavy ground last time and may be inconvenienced by both the drop in trip and the faster ground.
Evening Scent Has some decent flat form and warmed up for this with a spin over the AW; might prefer softer ground but still might go well.
Chevet Girl (IRE) Looks more of a chasing type but is open to improvement.
Jellybeen (IRE) Has been badly out of form of late on the AW and although had some decent hurdle form last season looks up against it here.
Skyers A Kite Ran a decent effort in this race last year and has some fair flat form; one to consider.
Isit Izzy No real form and because of that is of little appeal.
Indigo Baby Inconsistent mare who may improve on this better ground; fitted with a tongue strap and first time visor today.
Romany Hill One for the shortlist on basis of her good fourth in similar race at Mussleburgh before being below par in the mud last time.
Swiss Comfort (IRE) Rarely gets round.
Misalliance Out of the handicap and out of her depth.
Thrillofthechase Will struggle to get competitive today and others are preferred.
Nairn Best form on soft ground and finished lame last time; still might have the class to take this although might prefer a stiffer course.
Clair Valley Has not really lived up to promise of debut bumper run; three miles was too far for her last time and two miles could be too short today.
Kinfauns Lady (IRE) Probably won't have the necessary speed to take this event on good ground.
Ruby Raven Conditions should suit but will need to show improvement on recent efforts to play a major role today.
