Formwatch
Greenhope (IRE) Consistent type who gained well deserved first career win at Redcar last month when given enterprising ride; may be able to dominate this small field once again off 4lb higher mark.
Nzame (IRE) Needed every yard to gain narrow win at Sandown over 11f in June off 4lb lower mark; may struggle returning to this sharp 10f in small field first-time visor. despite
Aker Wood Has been found wanting in handicap company off similar mark since landing weak Ayr maiden in May.
Miss Moselle (IRE) Ran fair race in defeat latest but is still a maiden and this looks tougher off 3lb higher.
