In depth
Formwatch
Strawberry Sands Beat subsequent winner at Bath; not disgraced at Nottingham and a major player here.
Nivernais Won well at Folkestone despite looking green; open to lots of improvement.
Grizel Has blinding early pace but does tend to run out of steam.
Marechal George Held by Strawberry Sands on Nottingham running.
Torrecilla Will find this less exacting than his last start at Newmarket but hard to fancy.
Littleton Tzar (IRE) Not beaten that far in much better affair at Kempton; can make his mark in Nurseries.
Zinging Sadly out of form since May; the drop to selling company did not help last time.
Allerton Boy Nearly a stone better with Strawberry Sands on Bath form; should go close but another furlong would help.
Out For A Stroll Not shown what he is capable of yet and on a fair mark.
Pivot d'Amour She will need further to have a chance of opening her account.
Zeitlos May have been placed, granted a clearer run at Nottingham; each-way claims.
Silver Mascot Hard to get enthusiastic about.
Freddie Mercury (IRE) Nibbled at in betting when second in Bath seller; watch the market.
The Chaplain (IRE) Has shown nothing in five starts to date.
Lord Ashmore Struggled in weak company but slowly getting the hang of things.
Hawkley Hard to make a claim on what we have seen so far.
Aisling's Dream (IRE) Shown nothing yet and unlikely to here.
Sammax (IRE) Proved disappointing up to now.
Hazy Morn Low weight but needs to improve dramatically to figure.
Why Alys Has not fulfilled early promise; safely discounted.
