In depth
Formwatch
Dark Before Dawn (USA) Looks to have a very difficult task at the weights and is best watched.
Cark Drawn well and would have a good chance on the best of his form but needs to pit a poor effort last time behind him.
Valuable Gift Has conditions to suit and is drawn well, but looks to have a little to find with a few of these on recent evidence.
Goretski (IRE) Very tough performer who put up a bold show last time, has a good draw and may be the one to beat.
Waterford Spirit (IRE) Stable's runners always respected in events like this and would be capable of a bold show on his best form if the low draw is no inconvenience.
Crystal Canyon Has met trouble in running in his recent outings, but has a better draw here and is one for the short-list.
High Esteem Not too consistent but is entitled to put up a bold effort after finally losing his maiden tag last time, but not one to put too much faith in.
Sealed By Fate (IRE) Very poor strike rate and looks one to swerve for now.
Robin Hood Course regular who won this last year however, that was his only win so far and may find one or two too good in a finish.
Arran Mist Chances if handling a slower surface and has the assistance of George Duffield today, may go well at a fair price.
Lady-Love Inconsistent type who basically appears to be out of form, best watched.
Superfrills Goes well here and has conditions to suit, one to consider.
Baritone All his best form has been on an artificial surface and although he is yet to win on turf he may surprise a few, one to watch in the betting.
Tong Road Yet to get his head in front in 28 starts and no real reason to think that will change today.
Kosevo (IRE) Off the track since June and best watched.
Jacmar (IRE) Gained all six of his career wins so far at this track it would be dangerous to rule him out in this grade.
Roisterer Has a lot to find and is not hard to overlook today.
Biff-Em (IRE) Another regular her and should go well for his in-form rider, another for the list.
