In depth
Formwatch
Clever Girl (IRE) In great form this Summer, but has gone right off the boil lately; maybe Darley can help.
Shared Harmony (IRE) Only thing in its favour is the step up in trip.
Bodfari Anna Another who is out of form at present and hard to fancy.
Lunch Party Former course and distance scorer, not one for the shortlist on recent evidence.
Best Ever Not lived up to its name so far and unlikely to here.
Patrivalor (USA) Trainer does not send many up here, but needs to improve on handicap debut.
Brillyant Dancer Needs to show great improvement to figure here.
Venika Vitesse String of unplaced efforts; just cannot muster any enthusiasm.
Stormswell One or two promising runs but likely to find a few too good.
Mister Sanders Showed first real form behind in-form animal at Brighton; can break duck over extra furlong.
Golden Symbol Slowly finding form; too slow for this though.
Lady-Love Course winner two year ago; unseated rider here recently.
Miss Manette Not expected to even go close.
Go Thunder (IRE) Lightly weighted and even more lightly fancied.
