In depth
Formwatch
Monduru Well beaten on heavy ground last time out at Haydock, but finished a close second on penultimate start at Yarmouth. May have place chances in this company today.
Blossom Whispers Has only had one start since November at Brighton over 1m4f. Only moderate performance and may well have needed the run; cannot be ignored today.
Summer Bounty Won at Bath back in July, but runs since have been disappointing. With a return to this winning form he is a capable winner
Able Millenium (IRE) Won back in May at Pontefract over 8f in Good to Soft ground. However the visor has not been able to maintain that winning form; hard to fancy.
Lazzaz Moderate form makes him an unlikely contender today.
Castlebridge Managed to win a seller at Chepstow in July, but general form is moderate; will struggle to win today.
Westminster City (USA) Just beaten in a seller at Brighton in May. Last run over hurdles can be discounted; with good jockey booking cannot be ignored.
Magique Etoile (IRE) Soundly beaten last time out over C&D. Still a maiden aged five; othersr preferred.
Abracadabjar Best form was at Lingfield back in April when finishing second on the all weather; has yet to produce this form on turf (was hampered on last start at Musselburgh) but coming from a good yard in this poor race cannot be ruled out.
Etisalat (IRE) Had winning form last May when producing three consecutive wins. Form since has deteriorated and makes him easy to oppose.
Oh No Not Him Well beaten last time at Warwick. Landed a seller at Ripon at long odds back in July; has the ability but his inconsistent form betrays that he is not always in love with game.
Twist C&D third on penultimate start. On most recent outing failed to get the extra furlong. Should run to his best in these conditions and against this opposition; a likely contender.
Still Waters Best form is on the All weather. Last two starts have been here, finished last in a seller in June; hard to fancy today.
Victoriet Has not run since July and has never won; unlikely to make winning debut today.
Policastro NON RUNNER
Top of The Class (IRE) Has produced decent form on the AW, but others preferred on turf.
