In depth
Formwatch
Master Satchmo (IRE) Has won over this sort of trip but, of late, has been running over further; rated just lower than when last winning and his rider takes off a useful 5 lbs; however, he's only modest; that said, this is only a modest event.
Good Potential (IRE) Now 12 lbs higher than when winning at Southwell on Jan 24 (2m,heavy); possibly still improving.
The Gene Genie He runs well in sellers, which appears to be his level; you couldn't say he's well handicapped.
Victory Roll Not a bad effort to beat Returning over course and distance on Jan 26 (heavy/soft); less exposed than a number of these.
Phar Too Gifted Lightly-raced and open to some improvement at this level.
In The Flow (USA) He hasn't shown too much to date but is only lightly-raced.
Saga Royale (FR) First run of season; has three unplaced efforts at Plumpton to her name; may need this.
Deadly Doris A number of placed efforts to her name; trip and ground should be OK and she's entitled to put up some kind of a show.
Cedar Chief Hasn't run since Sept 19 last year; is entitled to have some improvement to come so cannot be ruled out.
Benjamin Jones Hinted at ability last time but has been very lightly-raced over the years and the balance of his form is modest.
Sodelk Whilst she has suggested some ability, she has also shown some wayward tendencies which makes her chances look a little less bright.
Bumpse A Daisy Her form is only modest and she cannot be fancied to take this.
Ghost Moon Very modest form so far.
Hathni Khound A couple of hints at ability ealier in the season but nothing since and, on that basis, can't be fancied.
Benvolio Has very modest form.
Recoleta Has little in the way of form.
