In depth
Formwatch
Ledgendry Line Versatile sort who goes well around here and is not without a chance depite topweight.
Mirjan (IRE) Decent hurdler; slightly better off at the weights with Ledgendry Line than of late, but might be seen to better effect on less testing ground.
Magic Combination (IRE) Smart handicapper on his day; had a nightmare attempt over fences latest and could have lost his confidence. Stable in great from though and watch for market move.
Patras (IRE) Goes on the ground and ran very well latest; sure to be there or thereabouts.
Snugfit Rosie (GER) Good effort latest and today's jockey booking (R Johnson) looks interesting.
Eponine Held by Snugfit Rosie on recent running and hard to see him reversing the form.
Exalted (IRE) Big run from out of the handicap latest and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close.
Rum Pointer (IRE) Fast-improving novice taking on older horses for the first time and could be a blot on the handicap; if he handles today's going, and he has won on soft, he must go close.
Prokofiev (USA) Fair performer but has a poor win-to-run ratio and others make more appeal today.
Reverse Charge Out of sorts lately and it's hard to get excited about his chances today.
Just Lizzie Lively outsider; has run well all starts this term (including here), and has definite each-way claims.
Crystal Gift Disappointing latest and overall form leaves him with something to find.
Cottstown Boy (IRE) Looks out of his depth and impossible to fancy.
Karowna Improved effort last time and looks to be on her way back; however this is a much tougher race and she is likely to find a few too good once again
