In depth
Formwatch
Reviewer (IRE) Generally consistent but some times need a run after a break; one to consider if reproducing form shown at Bath over this trip earlier in the season.
Green Bopper (USA) Jockey stole a race at Chester earlier this year; conditions should suit and has place possibilities.
Dark Shadows Ran up to his very best on his penultimate start at Redcar but was abysmal last time out at Catterick; not one to rely upon but could spring a surprise.
Sitara If you can forget her run at Haydock on penultimate start then this filly stand an excellent chance of following up her course and distance win earlier in the season.
Henry Island (IRE) Consistent sort who has the ability to win this type of race; stable not in the best of form however and this outing could just be warming him up for a hurdle campaign.
Repulse Bay (IRE) Stepping up in trip today but has more ability than most and is suited by a good surface; excellent chance if staying the trip and putting a poor run last time behind him.
Sing And Dance Generally runs up to his mark and ran his best to date last time out; goes well for an apprentice and has each-way claims here.
Gargoyle Girl Ran too badly to be true last time out but had previously shown ability; could run well at decent price if handling this step up in trip.
Glen Vale Walk (IRE) Form, decent as it is, seems to be tailing off of late; has been given a few weeks off so may come back refreshed; will go close if on song.
Gracious Air (USA) In and out form but has been running up to his best on last two outings; yet to prove he stays this trip but chance nevertheless.
Smarter Charter Last few runs over this trip have not been his best; probably needs further these days and best left here.
Flying Romance (IRE) Did not enjoy himself on the AW last time but had shown decent bit of form previous; trainer in excellent form and big run expected.
Rear Window Step back in trip a slight cause for concern but has ability and may run well.
Eyes Dont Lie (IRE) Overall level of form below what is required even to win this poor contest.
Hasta La Vista Back to his favourite trip this gelding could take all the beating off a mark nearly 20lb below his highest winning mark.
Barresbo Another stepping back in trip and for that reason is passed over in this poor but tricky-looking contest.
