In depth
Formwatch
Aldafra Did not have the best of luck at Doncaster last time; yet to prove she truly stays this trip although should do on breeding.
Shadow Roll (IRE) Still a maiden and looks plenty high enough in the weights for what she has achieved so far.
Kasamba Narrow winner of a fast ground maiden on the July Course earlier in the season; given a break since so comes here fresher than most but looks rather high in the handicap on her debut in the grade.
Celtic Romance Recorded her second win of the season when taking full advantage of good draw at Doncaster's Leger meeting; faces a more difficult task off 4lb higher mark here.
Lihou Island Caught the eye when unlucky in running in a nursery at Doncaster; subsequent run at the same meeting may have come too quick but again ran well. Has solid claims off same handicap mark as at Town Moor.
Silence Is Golden Impressive winner over a mile here last month in similar company; 9lb rise and drop in trip since not certain to suit.
Sequin (IRE) Hard to work hard to win at Folkestone last month; looked held off new mark at Epsom subsequently.
Evening Serenade (IRE) Well held on recent starts (including in similar company); likely to struggle again.
Mitawa (IRE) Appreciated step up to this trip when opening account at Ayr in July (form solid); latest run from bad draw when behind Celtic Romance best ignored and off same mark has to be respected.
Dowhatjen Good value for further than the winning margin at Epsom last time; solid claims off following up off new mark.
Raphael (IRE) In form following wins at Thirsk and Ripon; more to do now off higher mark and against better company.
Miss Opulence (IRE) Staying on when falling in rough race at Doncaster last time; claims if unaffected by the experience there.
First Alert Made most of weak opposition when winning races at Beverley and Haydock; more to do in this company and may prefer softer ground.
Sophies Symphony Lost little in defeat behind J M W Turner at Hamilton last time over six furlongs; step up to seven furlongs should suit and Kieren Fallon an eyecatching booking.
Casta Diva (IRE) Improved performance to win at Thirsk last time; not badly treated on nursery debut.
Castaway Queen (IRE) No real encouragement from last two starts; may fair better now handicapped but others with more solid claims.
Water of Life (IRE) Staying on sixth over six furlongs at Doncaster last time suggests this trip should suit; another for the short list.
Oriental Moon (IRE) Claims on Doncaster second but otherwise disappointing.
Raised The Bar (USA) Has not progressed as may have been expected since promising debut; step up in trip should bring about improvement but would not want any more rain.
Bon Marche Latest effort at Ayr probably best ignored; has claims on earlier placed efforts.
Miss Uluwatu (IRE) Average maiden; looks outclassed in this company.
Sandy Lady (IRE) Creditable second on heavy ground at Haydock last month when well backed; 2lb rise since then far from harsh but may want further rain.
Princess Petardia (IRE) Slightly disappointing in nursery over a mile at Doncaster recently, on first start in handicap; had won well previously and return to seven furlongs may suit.
