Formwatch
Indian File Lightly raced and open to plenty of improvement; bounced back to form latest and will go close although no easy task conceding weight all round.
Celtic Mission (USA) Given enterprising ride to score over C&D last month (now 4lb higher); may be open to further improvement and loves cut in the ground; serious chance.
Quitte La France Fair third behind Celtic Mission penultimate (7lb better for two lengths); acts well with cut in ground; respected.
Borders Belle (IRE) Closely matched with Celtic Mission and Quitte La France on C&D form last month; should close the gap on those two rivals.
Reviewer (IRE) Suited by cut in ground as a juvenile and appreciated ease in ground when landing maiden handicap at Bath penultimate; not disgraced in better company at Goodwood and should give good account here with conditions in his favour.
Yanus In terrific form and on to hat trick here after wins at Ayr (both over this trip); this is tougher and more needed off 5lb higher mark.
Bollin Thomas Dual handicap winner at Beverley in JUne but has risen in weights and may not want any more rainfall.
