In depth
Formwatch
Focused Attraction (IRE) Has always shown promise at home, and gained first win at Wolverhampton last time in Class E handicap; could well improve now he has gained the winning habit.
Young Alex (IRE) Won his last two starts over this track at 7f; could be inconvenienced by dropping down a furlong now.
Timeless Farrier Followed easy maiden win with second placing to Deceitful in handicap, both over course and distance; has plenty of speed and stable remains in good form.
Amen Corner (USA) Won Ayr maiden last year; well beaten last two starts; first time on Equitrack.
If By Chance Form of January maiden win here working out well; fourth to Deceitful here last time, finishing behind Timeless Farrier.
Madrasee Beaten 5.25l by Young Alex here last time out over 7f; likely to be suited by this 1f drop in trip.
Chartleys Princess Not disgraced in higher grade on turf, including in £50,000 Newmarket contest in August; stable always worth noting on the all-weather; watch in market.
Forest Moon Split Timeless Farrier and If By Chance over course and trip last month; reasonable chance on that form.
Pivotable Won a 6f maiden very smoothly at Wolverhampton last week; likely to improve and be a leading contender here.
