In depth
Formwatch
Escalade In good form at present; not favoured by the weights here though.
Billy Bathwick (IRE) Hit a purple patch in June but has been disappointing since.
Hakeem (IRE) Not certain to stay a mile.
Hint of Magic Best watched on return from a three month absence.
Kanz Wood (USA) Seems to be more effective on the all-weather than turf these days.
Yeast Streets ahead of these on best form but should really be given the honourable retirement he deserves.
Footprints (IRE) Out of form at present and first time visor tried to reawake any enthusiasm.
Most-Saucy Probably claiming class these days and not really suited by today's trip.
Reap Opposed on return from a year's absence.
River Light (IRE) Very interesting to see a Geoff Wragg runner dropped so markedly in grade
Maytime Stable had a big winner at the weekend so wouldn't be a complete surprise.
Minuscolo Seems to have been sent over a mile as an after-thought.
Pagan Princess Potentially unexposed; market will prove if today is the day.
Ursa Major Lingfield equitrack specialist who is readily opposed on turf.
Headfort Rose (IRE) Ex-Irish; market moves may be significant.
Mucho Gusto Yet to trouble the judge at big odds.
