In depth
Formwatch
Alazan Has shown nothing to warrant a recommendation today.
Corunna Some consistent efforts of late but has never won beyond six Furlongs.
Luxor Ex Henry Cecil inmate comes here seemingly out of form and is passed over today.
Pythagoras Over-all profile not inspiring in today's conditions and others preferred
Scissor Ridge Admirably tough character but has not won on turf since 1996.
Yeast Won this same race last year and one to consider in an uninspiring event.
Ann's Mill Best watched on first start for new trainer after a long lay off.
French Fancy (IRE) All her best form has been on the All Weather, not much in her favour today.
Warlingham (IRE) Slight stamina doubt but would not be the biggest surprise if he figured prominently in this weak affair.
Galla Placidia (IRE) Lightly raced as yet and would not be the greatest shock to see her involved in the shake-up.
Polar Rock Should handle the conditions and holds decent claims today.
The Tube (IRE) Hard to make a case for her even in this modest event.
