In depth
Formwatch
Wuxi Venture Has ran well in defeat; faster ground may help, a danger to all.
Whistling Dixie (IRE) Has won two out of three; the one to beat on form.
Commonwealth (IRE) Likes to make the running; may again find a few too good.
El Salida (IRE) Won a weak affair last time out, more to do here
Salvage Has been placed on last two runs; goes in the ground but more to do here.
Blue Desert Ran as if something was amiss on debut; plenty to prove.
Michael Finnegan (IRE) Loves soft ground; takes a lot of driving along, creeping up the weights.
Stop The Gossip (IRE) Best form on fast ground; has been out of form of late.
Route Sixty Six (IRE) Won over course and distance last time out, needs to improve to take a hand.
Lovelock (FR) Has shown only a modicum of ability of late; plenty to prove.
Mr Perry (IRE) Stable second string on jockey bookings; needs to improve to win off this mark.
Bodfari Signet Best form on fast ground; has shown nothing of late.
