In depth
Formwatch
Doc Holiday (IRE) Has produced a fair level of form but looks one of the most exposed; others should improve past him but trainer is very capable in this sort of race; softish ground should not be a problem.
Farqad (USA) Impressive run on debut in fast run race; should improve and looks the one of the ones to beat for the master of juveniles David Loder.
Johannesburg (USA) Serious contender who has beaten everything put in front of him; even has form on soft ground so is likely to be long odds-on and hard to beat.
Line Rider (USA) Pacemaker.
Mr Toad (IRE) Tough and now experienced campaigner; handles most surfaces and has a turn of foot but whether best form will be good enough to land this is debatable.
Official Flame (USA) Seems stable second choice and ran below his best last time out at Newbury (possibly did not enjoy the surface) but is better than that and should give a good account of himself.
Zipping (IRE) Fair level of form but looks held by Johannesburg on Deauville running; acts on any surface.
Ho Choi Put up best effort in defeat at York; not at his best next time out at Newmarket and may struggle today.
