In depth

Formwatch

Benny The Vice (USA) Has shown a little ability on two previous starts but not a certain stayer on this testing ground.

George Romney (USA) Well regarded colt who holds an entry in the Dewhurst; stable can get them ready first time out; one to note in betting exchanges.

Mojo Man Has the benefit of previous experience; stays well and handles the ground so should go well at a fair price.

William George (IRE) Exposed as being nothing out of the ordinary.

Xcel (IRE) Well beaten both starts including in blinkers latest; others preferred.

Albanova Beautifully bred daughter of Alzao (full sister to dual Champion Stakes heroine Alborada); interesting on debut.

Pepper Ridge Makes limited appeal on breeding.

Timing Newcomer by Alhaarth but stoutly bred on dam side; market will be of interest.

Top Flight Queen Her form does not look good enough here.
