Formwatch
Harik Easily won this race last year off 8lb higher mark; tailed off in last three AW appearances and is hard to fancy today.
Alabang Was impressive when winning over course and distance last month but disappointed over an inadequate 1m 4f last time; must have a live chance today however.
Lady Coldunell Best AW form is at this track and should go well today; stayed on really strongly behind Able Seaman last time.
Able Seaman (USA) Improving sort; went well in first-time blinkers last time and won with something in hand; the one to beat today.
Bold Century Won a poor maiden here last time over 1m 5f; needs to improve to take a hand today.
Le Cavalier (USA) Should appreciate this step up in trip; 7lb out of the handicap today and others are preferred.
