In depth
Formwatch
Point of Dispute Best watched on return from a long absence.
Norton (IRE) Drop in trip is interesting; watch the market.
True Night Arguably beaten by the draw latest and fancied here if the rain turns up.
Stratton (IRE) The question is as to whether the handicapper has got him yet.
Almiddina (IRE) Would have to be in the reckoning for a two length beating by A Touch of Frost.
Kareeb (FR) Consistent but has tended to struggle in this grade.
Presentation (IRE) Has something to find on present form.
Blackheath (IRE) Coming down the handicap but will probably need to a shave a few pounds before winning again.
Cd Flyer (IRE) Good placed efforts this term;
Petrus (IRE) Very consistent; won't be too far away again
Glory Days (IRE) Opposable at present.
Flint River Has the ability but has been a little disappointing until last few runs.
White Emir Looks plenty high enough in the weights at present.
Madame Maxi Up 4lbs for beating Sky Dome latest; tougher grade here.
