In depth
Formwatch
Foxcote Suited by a stiff 6f and should get this trip on breeding; may find one or two too good.
Hailwood (USA) Another who appreciated a step up in trip last time out; will need to improve again to play a significant role today.
Sir Northerndancer (IRE) Has improved for each run and looks the one to beat at these weights; suited by this trip and if handling this course could go very close.
Itcanbedone Again (IRE) Yet to race on ground faster than good and has course form; a market move would be significant.
Sarn Slightly disappointing last time out at Newcastle; consistent otherwise and trainer is respected at this track.
Market Avenue Looks better suited to a shorter trip and could struggle to last home.
Impeller (IRE) Improved for step up in trip last time and likely to progress again; one for the shortlist.
Tucker Fence Generally reliable performer who will be in the shake-up; exposed however and others preferred.
