In depth
Formwatch
Al Azhar Returns from absence and has not won for some time; unlikely to be able to defy top-weight today.
Arpeggio Fit from the all-weather but yet to win over this distance; may be best watched today.
Masterpiece (USA) Capable on his day but in poor form lately.
Entity Entitled to be a major contender on his form from last season; difficult to know how fit he is today but definitely one for the shortlist.
Pension Fund Not disgraced in much better race last time out; should run well in today's easier contest.
Kid'z'play (IRE) Made all to win last time at Doncaster; another bold bid expected today but this is a tougher race.
Thihn (IRE) Not disgraced on first run this year and may improve for that run; should be considered.
One Dinar (FR) Very capable performer; may need today's run as trainers' horses tend to improve for run.
Johnson's Point No show on only run this year and should be overlooked today.
Wilemmgeo Seems to have lost her form lately and may be best watched.
Howard's Lad (IRE) Returns from absence and doubts over today's trip; hard to enthuse about.
Barresbo Last seen on the flat in 1998 and difficult to see him taking a hand today.
Highland Gold (IRE) Well weighted and very much a contender on his best form; difficult to know how fit he will be today.
Ace of Trumps Appreciates todays' conditions and tends to run well early in the season; could run a big race today.
Noble Cyrano Hard to see taking a hand here.
Burning Truth (USA) In excellent form this winter on the all-weather and will have a fitness advantage over many of his rivals; yet to win on turf yet and question marks that he is as effective under todays' conditions.
