In depth
Formwatch
Hout Bay Ran his heart out when just behind Eau Rouge over 5f on Monday; difficult task at these weights.
Howe Timely Nothing special on pedigree.
Blushing Spur Failed to see out 7f at Haydock last time out; moderate form over 6f this term.
Investment Force (IRE) Will need every yard of this six furlongs; cannot write anything off from the Johnston stable at the moment but he may be vulnerable to early pace.
Master Blue Well beaten in his two starts this season; hard to fancy.
Mr Mahoose (USA) Didn't stay 1m on the sand last time; ran a decent 3rd last year at Nottingham so couldn't be written off here.
Paris Knight (IRE) Outpaced on the sand over 6f; best watched.
Piano Power Faded after early speed in a similar event at Musselburgh on Monday; may improve for that.
Prince Jack Stone last on heavy ground last term; difficult to make a case for him in this company.
Usloob (IRE) Come from behind performer who has the class to win an event like this but might not fully appreciate the drop to 6f.
Geri Roulette Breeding suggests that this trip may be on the sharp side.
Royal Poppy Well beaten over 6f and 7f this term; unlikely to trouble the principals here.
Spur of Gold (IRE) No show in a Pontefract seller over 1m last time; difficult task here.
