In depth
Formwatch
Bold Raider Excellent chance on best of form but trainer's recent run is very worrying; place chance at best.
Deep Blue Has been patiently brought along by good trainer; good effort last time out and will appreciate this step up in trip.
Hail The Chief Better on the dirt but put in good run at Sandown last time out; goes on any ground and one to bear in mind.
Supreme Salutation Trainer coming out of the doldrums and this versatile horse could go close if getting luck in-running.
Clever Girl (IRE) When she's good she's good when she's bad she's really bad; chance if effective on track but not to be trusted.
Thundermill (USA) Inconsistent and others preferred today.
Bold State Good effort over this distance on penultimate start before disappointing at Nottingham; chance on best of form but look elsewhere.
Encounter Seems more effective over shorter and it will be a surprise to see him run well today.
Kalingalinga Barney Curley handicapper with top jockey booked.
Salim Chance on Newmarket form of three months ago but has disappointed since and best watched today.
Lago di Como Consistent of late over slightly further; trainer in form but might still not be good enough.
Little Tumbler (IRE) Improved effort last time at Brighton; reproduction of that form will see him go close but steps back in trip here.
Jarv (IRE) Improved effort at Brighton last time out and is entitled to take his chance here.
Rio's Diamond Brighton specialist who ran as though he did not handle this track last time; one to avoid.
Sammy's Shuffle Out of form this season and so is trainer.
Jailhouse Rocket Acts on any ground and is generally consistent; goes well for apprentice and could go well at good price.
Replacement Pet (IRE) Looks likely to struggle even if at top of his game.
Smooth Sailing Dropping back in trip (which is always worrying) but is fairly consistent and a decent run is not out of the question.
