In depth
Formwatch
Gaysun Generally consistent sort who always gets around; stays for fun and could be hard to beat off his current mark.
Nigello Won this race last year putting up his best performance of the year; fell on his prep run for this but if confidence not too shot will cope well.
Manasis (NZ) Capable on his day but has had his problems; poor run last time and possibly best avoided here.
Party Lad (IRE) A better hurdler on his day but is slowly learning this game; seems to prefer a firmer surface these days.
Judaic Ways Puts in some solid efforts when finishing; a reproduction of his run at Worcester earlier in the year would see him going very close.
