In depth
Formwatch
Ashlinn (IRE) Slowly slipping down to a winning mark and this track and trip could be ideal; trainer could be in better form.
Pendulum Swung back to form last time despite losing at Lingfield; should go close if on song for in-form trainer.
Russian Whispers (USA) Decent effort on AW last time and has run well at this track before; trainer going well and big run expected if truly getting this 7f.
Flint River Improved effort last time but has yet to prove he definitely stays this trip.
Santisima Trinidad (IRE) Prolific seasonal winner who acts on any ground; should go close but handicapper might have his mark.
Kazana Stepping down in trip after some poor runs; best watched on debut for new stable.
Sunley Scent Top-notch effort last Monday at Nottingham on unfavourable side; has the form, ability and heart to land this.
Buddeliea Seems better suited by a mile and trainer not in the best of hearts; others preferred.
Zhitomir Loves this track and distance should suit; will go close but lacks a turn of foot.
Takaroa Improved run two weeks ago at Sandown on good to soft; will need the ground if looking to land this prize.
Densim Blue (IRE) Has ability and has run well here before; needs to improve on recent efforts but it will be no surprise to see him going close.
Mon Secret (IRE) Does not seem to go well for this jockey and others preferred on this occasion.
Saafend Rocket (IRE) In and out performer but generally runs well at this distance; chance for trainer coming back to form.
Spiney Norman Lightly-raced but has struggled last time out and others preferred.
