In depth
Formwatch
Blackthorn Not as effective last time on fast ground and could come into the reckoning if the heavens open.
Goldthroat (IRE) Disappointing last time out after a decent effort at Redcar; chance if returning to that form but others preferred in this hot little contest.
Shahm (IRE) Consistent efforts in previous runs and would not have to improve too much to play a major role here; handles both good and good to soft ground.
Takes Tutu (USA) Has improved for each run and looks the type to handle this step up in trip; stable has good course form.
Only Penang (IRE) Has not really stepped up on his run at Newbury earlier this season and best avoided until showing he is back to form.
Watchword Yet to win but has improved with every outing; stable coming back to form and should give a good account of himself.
Desert City Much improved of late and has every chance if enjoying this step up in trip; has good track form.
Mystic Forest Promises to stay this extra furlong and looks a likely type in this sort of event for in-form trainer.
Desert Royal (IRE) Exposed sort who looks vunerable to more lightly-raced sorts; not guaranteed to stay this trip.
Internationalguest (IRE) Some fair efforts give him a decent chance but may have to settle for place honours.
Tass Heel (IRE) Stays this trip but overall balance of form sees others with better chances.
Thundergod Improved for step up in trip last time; yet to race on a soft surface and opposable.
Kew Poor run last time needs to be put behind him and previous efforts nothing special.
Princess Petardia (IRE) Stays this trip well but looks badly handicapped on what she has achieved on the racecourse.
Bualadhbos (IRE) Improvement of late but will have to improve again to play a leading role in this competitive event.
