In depth
Formwatch
Otime (IRE) Well drawn but yet to reproduce his best form this year. Claims at this level
Apollo Red If official adjusted ratings are to be believed this horse should bolt up today-not one to oppose lightly
Billichang On a long losing run at present and recent form suggests that he has plenty to prove here
Ertlon Badly drawn but from a stable that sent out an all-weather double yesterday-respected
Flashtalkin' Flood Ran reasonably well in a Southwell claimer last time and could reach the frame
Melomania (USA) Has gone well fresh in the past but appears to be out of his depth here
Night City Useful performer when allowed to dominate and commands respect
One Quick Lion Ran well when third at Wolverhampton last time and another bold show is expected
Quids Inn Well treated on the best of his turf form
Spirit of Light (IRE) His trainer hasn't sent out a winner for 164 days, not one to trust
French Fancy (IRE) She has shown signs of ability in better company this year and cannot be ruled out
Kathies Pet Poorly drawn and will need to have improved since her reappearance last month
