In depth
Formwatch
Goldanzig (IRE) Good form as a three-year-old but lightly raced and disappointing since; may need to come down in the weights.
Cruise The Fairway (IRE) Excellent form in better races recently; continues to improve and acts on today's surface; very much a live contender.
Outer Limit (IRE) Has disappointed on last two runs in good company; needs to regain form but acts on today's ground.
Misconduct Has performed consistently well so far on her hurdling career; one for the shortlist.
Open Ground (IRE) Returned to winning ways last time out at Lingfield, when dropped in class; better opposition today but should run his race; slight question mark over today's trip.
Leopard Rock (IRE) Winner in Ireland; poor form since and no chance here
Echo du Lac (FR) Showed benefit of recent wind operation to win last time; open to improvement again here; should run a big race.
Hubert Beaten in a finish last time at Warwick; this is better race but should not be discounted.
Pebble Moon Tailed off in Amateur riders race last time; form from last season would give him a chance; may be best watched.
My Tern (IRE) Good return after long absence last time; is well handicapped and chances depend on if she can build on that performance.
Gayrann (FR) Disappointed at Lingfield on last run, best watched for now.
