In depth
Formwatch
Acclamation Yet to finish out of the first two in his four races so far, and the step up in trip should be taken in his stride, on e to consider.
Brigadore Sure to run his race but is becoming hard to with at present and is not one to rely on for win only purposes.
Broken Barricades (IRE) Won his maiden well at Salisbury last time and is progressing nicely, one to watch out for in the betting exchanges.
Captain Rio Stepped up to six furlongs well to score at Ripon last time, this looks a tougher contest but he is entitled to consideration.
Caribbean Coral Stepped up considerably on his debut to land his maiden at Brighton last time out, and although not seen since, this half brother to Caribean Monarch looks set to go well.
Donegal Shore (IRE) appreciated the rain softened ground to score on his debut at Folkestone recently, but more will be known about his ability to handle firmer ground post race.
Double Play (IRE) Looks to be learning his trade well, but this is his toughest assignment yet and he seems to have a little to find on balance.
Fayr Jag (IRE) Another who will need to improve to figure here.
Ho Choi Followed an impressive debut at Ayr in June with a fair run to finish three lengths second to Rock Of Gibraltar in the Gimcrack Stakes at York, looks to be the form pick and is very highly rated by connections.
Magic Trick Conditions should not pose a problem but he is beginning to look exposed and others look to have stronger claims.
Mahsusie (IRE) Not disgraced in Group company of late and is one to consider if the market speaks in his favour.
Old Blue Eyes A very consistent sort but he may struggle to reverse form with Acclamation.
Pachara Should handle the underfoot conditions and is open to improvement, should go well.
Pic Up Sticks Picked up well on his debut to chase home Donegal Shore and is sure to give his football loving connections plenty of enjoyment in the course of time. He looks to have a little to here though.
Quest For Glory (IRE) This is a much tougher assignment than the Novice Auction Stakes contest he won at Hamilton last time and is best watched in this company.
Receivedwiththanx (IRE) The two race he won at Beverley and Thirsk in the summer do not look strong enough in the context of this race to warrant a recommendation here.
Thunderclap Open to improvement but looks to be one to watch with an eye to the future today.
Tough Love Failed to reproduce on his reappearance after taking an average looking maiden at Newcastle in July and others look to hold stronger claims.
Triple Play (IRE) Seems to be losing his way after a bright start and is passed over here.
Dearest Daisy Step back up to six furlongs should suit but he needs to improve to challenge the principles here.
Lady Pekan A little to prove over this trip and looks vulnerable to a strong finisher here.
Sheila Blige Raced only in good company so far but id=is beginning to become frustrating and others just preferred.
