In depth
Formwatch
Thari (USA) Ran well when beaten by Delius last time out and this handicap, looks easier; major chance.
Moon Emperor Ran well last time out when sixth in the Ebor but he may be in the handicappers grip at present;others preferred.
Ravenswood (IRE) Ran well in the Ebor and this looks easier; each way claims.
Solo Flight Is a hold up performer who needs everything to go right to win but he is still well weighted on his best form and could run well at a fair price.
Windsor Boy (IRE) Has become very disappointing of late and others are preferred.
Darasim (IRE) Is a hard ride but he has plenty of ability and he is a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.
Big Moment Ran well last time out when fourth but he did hang left under pressure and he may just find one or two to good here.
Loop The Loup Has become very disappointing of late even in blinkers; his best form is on fast ground and he is well handicapped on his best form but he is hard to recommenced at present.
Harlestone Grey Ran well at York last time out and looks well in at the weights; big chance
King Flyer (IRE) Beat Hambleden last time out but he is worse off here and he may struggle to confirm placings.
Livius (IRE) Is out of form at present and others preferred.
Special Is in top form and relishes this trip but this is a harder race than he has been winning of late and others preferred.
Hambleden Was very unlucky at York last time out and he looks the one to beat.
