In depth
Formwatch
Effervesce (IRE) Still on a winning mark despite topweight and solid claims on placed effort at HQ penultimate; something to prove after modest effort latest.
Petongski Looks weighted up to best at present.
Viewforth Makes quick reappearance after fair effort latest but shapes as though trip is too sharp.
Falcon Goa (IRE) Incurs 6lb penalty for easy win over 6f at Doncaster latest; speedy type so drop to minimum no problem and has good draw.
Cark Speedy type who ran well in defeat at Ayr against well handicapped winner; has worst draw and tends to hang badly left under pressure.
Le Meridien (IRE) Still a maiden and likely to find one or two too good here.
Piano Power Makes handicap bow and has plum draw; hasn't shown much in maidens but runs off possibly lenient mark; one to note.
Arran Mist has been struggling to make an impact this term.
Young Monash (IRE) No chance from 10lb out of handicap.
