In depth
Formwatch
Two Socks Capable on his day but yet to find his feet this season
Brig O'Turk Trip and ground should not be a problem, however did not face much competition when in front last time and will not get such an easy lead here.
Buying A Dream (IRE) Doubts about trip and stamina find it hard to give a recommendation here.
Top of The Class (IRE) Possible his is better on softer and needs to prove he gets the trip.
Il Destino Not the most consistent of characters but one for the short list if on a going day.
Pursuit of Dreams Can set the pace and the trip should be in his compass so one to consider from a favourable draw
Waffles of Amin Coped well when stepped up in distance on last two outings and could figure prominently if his stamina holds out.
Azur (IRE) A course winner in his juvenile days but takes a significant step up in trip today and is best watched.
Replacement Pet (IRE) Respectable effort in a similar event at Nottingham on first outing for her new stable earlier this month, but she has yet to race at this trip.
Little Tumbler (IRE) Has run well in similar events at Brighton and holds a chance if the change of scenery has the desired effect.
Captain McCloy (USA) Yet to find his true form so far this season and others preferred.
Adriana Not shown enough on her three outings this season so far to warrant a recommendation today.
Twoforten Sprung a surprise here last month, however that was over 7 furlongs cannot be easily supported at this trip.
Mujkari (IRE) Likes to come from behind off a strong pace, trip and going should not be a problem so one to consider in an event like this.
Eastwell Manor Lightly raced and best watched on today's fast ground.
Tarski Knocking on the door of late but poor wins to runs record if slightly off-putting.
