In depth
Formwatch
Blue Holly (IRE) Plenty of weight at the moment and visors tried for the first time here.
Stokesie Top level as a two year old in Ireland; first run for new stable; watch market.
Absolute Fantasy Knocking on the door at present and shouldn't be too far away again.
Sir Desmond In good form at present but struggling at the moment off this handicap mark.
Compton Arrow (IRE) Tried at 5f for the first time and probably best opposed here.
Soaked Will try to make his usual bold front running bid.
American Cousin Back to a winning mark and possibilities here if ground does not deteriorate.
Parkside Pursuit All right in his own grade but this isn't it.
Skylark In good heart at present but has been raised 3lb in the handicap.
Threat Frustrating character who doesn't win as often as he should; not one to have a short price.
Infotec (IRE) Hard to see this miler landing this contest.
Clan Chief In good heart but any softening in the ground won't help.
Speed On Very interesting to see George Duffield booked instead of an apprentice.
Goretski (IRE) Opposable in this heat.
Northern Svengali (IRE) Out of form at present.
Liberty Bound Doesn't possess the form to win this.
River Tern Jockey bookings suggest he's not the first string.
My Petal Lightly raced; thrown in on old form if retaining ability.
Bedevilled Claiming class performer; hard to fancy.
Coco de Mer Difficult to enthuse about.
Oare Kite Stiff task from out of the handicap.
Prince of Blues (IRE) Fourth to Fearby Cross at Doncaster off the same mark; place chances if any rain arrives.
Tancred Times Yet to win off this high a mark and probably still needs to come down a few pounds.
Grand View Probably needs to come down a few pounds in the handicap before landing a blow.
Swynford Dream Won't get the firm ground he requires.
