In depth
Formwatch
Doctor Green (FR) Has only had one run since July 2000 and finishing a respectable third at Newton Abbot. Previous form is good enough to make him one for the short list today.
Invictress (DEN) Fitted with first time blinkers today. Needs to reproduce form of a year ago when winning a similar contest at Worcester to have a chance today.
Willy Willy Two flat runs most recent. Off a better mark than when winning last year; may have a bit to find.
Southern-Be-George Just held off opposition to win at Southall last time after over a year off; must be respected today.
Sailep (FR) Won well in June last last year at Newton Abbot. Runs this year have produced nothing spectacular but best watched today.
Kingdom Emperor Off a nice weight today, but last win was in January 1998; needs to produce an improved effort to win today.
Miss Lacroix Finished second last time out at Worcester; would have each way chances today.
Trinity Buoy (IRE) Respectable second at Southall last time. Has shown consistent form recently but will need to improve to win today.
Counsel Won last time out at Fontwell (big price) easily; if that form can be reproduced then could go close.
Hadeqa Makes little appeal.
Townleyhall (IRE) Had his day in 1998 when C&D winner; unlikely to reproduce.
