In depth
Formwatch
Yorkshire (IRE) Smart stayer who has run with credit this season and would be hard to catch again if repeating his front running effort of last time.
Whitefoot Has a bit to find with Yorkshire judged on their meeting at Doncaster back in march and it remains to be seen how she fares over this trip.
Virgin Soldier (IRE) Thoroughly consistent at around two miles on fast ground, likes to race with the pace and one to consider.
Zilarator (USA) Claims on his efforts in the Chester Cup and should go well if a return visit works the oracle.
Spirit of Love (USA) Another who has a bit to find with Yorkshire after being taken off his feet when they met at Newmarket recently.
Conwy Castle Difficult to see him figuring too strongly here and is passed over.
Salska Looks to have an impossible task ahead of him on these terms.
