In depth
Formwatch
Ursa Major Out of form of late and appears to have plenty to prove off current mark.
Material Witness (IRE) Useful performer at best but appears on the downgrade on turf; makes all-weather debut.
Petrus (IRE) Acts well on this surface but now looks high enough in the weights.
Autumn Rain (USA) No show on either start this term.
Gingko Flopped on return to turf after Southwell win last month (now 4lb higher); place claims.
Madame Jones (IRE) Tough campaigner who has made history by winning 10 handicaps this season; still on a fair mark and looks the one to beat.
Superchief Goes well for today's jockey (has won three times) but appears weighted up to best.
Mytton's Again Hard to fancy on recent turf efforts.
Devolution (IRE) Lightly raced maiden who appears to have his own ideas.
Sky Dome (IRE) Veteran who makes belated all-weather debut; fair claims on Lingfield turf success in September.
Shotacross The Bow (IRE) Out of form on turf but showed ability in recent 2nd at Wolverhampton (9f); must go close in weak contest.
Mush (IRE) Disappointing type who has it all to do on poor all-weather effort latest.
