In depth
Formwatch
Lapwing (IRE) Generally consistent handicapper (won off 85 over 1m at Newmarket in June); should give good account once again despite topweight.
Sabo Rose Progressive filly (won off 77 over 7f at Newmarket in June) and twice most unlucky subsequently; has turn of foot and will prove hard to beat if avoiding trouble.
Khayyam (USA) Can win a small race off current mark but likely to struggle with principals on these terms.
Inspector Blue Lightly raced maiden who has not shown anything but may improve at this level.
Witney Royale (IRE) Well beaten on all starts this term and will find this tough on these terms.
Min Mirri Has been strugling in handicaps of late and will find drop in class more suitable; has a solid chance at weights but not a frequent winner.
Policastro Well behind on both starts to date.
Swiftmar Still a maiden who has shown a poor level of form.
Definite Flash (IRE) Best watched on belated debut.
Faraude Hasn't been showing enough to warrant support.
Gazette It Tonight Hard to fancy here.
Sima's Gold (IRE) Looks up against it on these terms.
