In depth
Formwatch
Zaggy Lane Suited by a test of stamina and ran out a game winner at Warwick last time; should go well again despite topweight.
New Rising Scored by a distance at Fakenham in January in a modest race, but stays all day and will be plodding on when many have had enough.
Grizzly Bear (IRE) Just touched off latest; stays and handles the ground; one-paced but still capble of figuring in the finish of what will be a real slog.
Gran Turismo (IRE) Prone to mistakes but fairly weighted and not without a chance if picking his feet up.
Fortius (IRE) Out of sorts of late and despite a fair drop in the weights is hard to fancy.
Just Steffi Doesn't look up to this task and is likely to struggle; others are opreferred.
Tylo Steamer (IRE) Pulled up last twice having won previous two starts; hard to weigh up, but something seems amiss at present.
