In depth
Formwatch
Prince Minata (IRE) May not have recovered in time from Saturday's exertions at Newbury.
Thihn (IRE) Gained rare win at Musselburgh but cannot be backed with confidence to follow up.
Adelphi Boy (IRE) Good effort off big weight at Southwell and extra furlong could suit.
Bold Raider Scope for more improvement and will like the going; question mark over fitness though.
College Rock Would prefer faster ground and more to do anyway.
Danakil Not ready to strike just yet.
Dinar (USA) Yet to show last summer's form but will improve.
Gypsy (IRE) Two month absence likely to count against him.
Lago di Como Another stretching his limbs after a break and best watched.
Must Be Magic May be flattered by recent form but previous course winner.
Stoppes Brow Did not manage a win last term but recent Brighton second most encouraging.
Stromsholm (IRE) Has the ability but did not show it last time and best treated with caution.
Harcelante (FR) Ex-French; will need another few runs to acclimatise.
Inchinnan Consistent sort last season with form over the course and distance; place claims.
Inexpensive Lightly raced all-weather winner with top jockey booked.
Rasmalai Not the best in Hannon's yard but could surprise despite absence.
Analyze (FR) Trainer to fear here and should come on for recent outing.
Strumpet Will need to improve markedly to hold any chance.
Sky Dome (IRE) Went off the boil last season and will need the run.
Queens Bench (IRE) Not shown enough to warrant support.
