In depth
Formwatch
Isful (FR) Another decent ex-French Martin Pipe inmate who stays and handles the going; slightly disappointing last time but this is less competitive and looks capable of going close.
The Lady Scores (IRE) In good form at present and followed Leicester shock win with a good placed effort last time; handles the ground and stays well so should be thereabouts.
Gayrann (FR) Looked as if his turn wouldn't be far away with a good effort at Plumpton last time (might have won but for blundering at the last); sure to command support and looks a serious contender.
Herolindo (FR) No show on debut in Wetherby bumper; best watched for the time being.
Mr Match Poor point to pointer who has failed to complete on last three outings; easily discounted.
Priestthorn (IRE) Winning point to pointer who shaped with a little promise last time; capable of improvement but might find this challenge too tough.
Red Card Very little promise so far and hard to make a case for; others are preferred.
Spiritual Dancer (IRE) Has ability but isn't the easiest of rides;close up when falling 2 out at Folkestone late and would have a serious chance her if putting in a clear round.
Tallow Bay (IRE) Only moderate but does handle testing conditions; hard to fancy here though.
Securon Rose (IRE) Never nearer seventh in Kempton bumper on debut and should iprove; this might be too tough a task at this stage however.
