In depth
Formwatch
Canadian Con (USA) Showed benefit of debut when landing Folkestone median auction maiden in workmanlike style last month; still very green and has scope for further improvement particularly with extra furlong in his favour; a leading contender.
Knavesmire Dream Mujadil colt who is gradually improving for experience; fair effort behind Naheef (subsequent Group 2 winner at Goodwood) latest and doesn't look harshly treated for handicap bow; will go close.
Michaels Dream (IRE) Had looked moderate before being stepped up in distance with visor latest; possible place claims.
Sarn Vastly improved for step up to this trip when winning weak Musselburgh handicap latest (now 5lb higher); may struggle in this tougher contest.
Hurricane Dan Has proved most disappointing in similar company; hard to fancy on latest form.
Howards Heroine (IRE) Steadily progressing for increase in trip and can make place bid off fair mark on handicap debut.
Maple House Hasn't shown much over shorter but gets in on decent mark and should improve for extra furlong.
Mon Petite (IRE) Dual selling-race winner but has had limitations exposed in Redcar nursery latest; looks vulnerable here.
Nu To Me Has failed to sparkle to date and unlikely to figure in the finish here.
Eyes To The Right (IRE) Well held in sellers/claimers but handicapped accordingly; hails from shrewd yard who may be able to exploit plater's mark.
Silver Shoes Looks outclassed even at this lowly level.
Thorntoun Connect Exposed as very moderate.
