Formwatch

Western Ridge (FR) Nothing to write home about on his all-weather form this year.
Ecstasy Fair third to Flight Sequence at Windsor; others preferred here.
Kez Winner of an amateurs event and was arguably unlucky in running at Windsor latest; does need everything to go right in order to win.
Lahaay Modest form.
Grenadier (IRE) Third to Little Amin over a mile; not proven as yet over distance.
Billy Bathwick (IRE) Beat Queens Pageant at Windsor over 1m2f; chance here if reproducing.

Rainbow Rain (USA) Fair all-weather performer but passed over here.
