In depth
Formwatch
Norfolk Reed (IRE) Performed well enough over a mile but invariably seems to find a couple too good for him.
Musical Heath (IRE) Coming down the handicap after some tough tasks recently; goes well for this jockey.
Finished Article (IRE) Now eight pounds lower than his previous winning mark; looks to be showing some signs of returning to form recently and should go close.
Last Symphony Beat Caprichio in a Haydock maiden over 7f on soft last year; little to cheer about since.
Stromsholm (IRE) Upset the applecart when winning a Windsor handicap at 25/1 latest; beat Harmony Hall on that day and may figure again.
Swynford Pleasure Performed well in amateur company; likely to need Fallon's significantly stronger handling today
Must Be Magic Did win a maiden handicap here last term; unlucky in running latest but the suspicion is that this trip is too short.
Samara Song Arguably better than form figures suggest; looks potentially well treated on the balance of form.
Malaah (IRE) Hard to fancy.
Dusky Virgin Second here when idling in front of Altay; has a fair chance but others look better treated at the weights.
