In depth
Formwatch
Bogus Dreams (IRE) Not very well handicapped and poor run on reappearance.
Moon Solitaire (IRE) Consistent handicapper who should go well but looks handicapped up to his best.
Fast Track (IRE) Ex-Michael Stoute who looks weighted up to his best; best watched here.
Blue Sugar (USA) Solid efforts last season give him a squeak here; has been gelded which could help his cause.
Shamaiel (IRE) Faces tough task on debut for new yard but ran with enough promise last season to suggest a good run here.
Nadour Al Bahr (IRE) Ran reasonably well last time but has been out of form since winning Group 3 race in Germany.
Burgundy Stable going well but looks out of his depth today.
Prairie Wolf Consistent performer who should put in another good account but that may still not be good enough.
Hudood (USA) First past the post over this course and distance last year and ran creditably last time from poor draw.
Tarboush Persevered with by top stable but on a high mark for achievements so far.
King Priam (IRE) This trip looks slightly too far him these days.
Rhythmicall (IRE) Has been gelded and could put up a good display from underrated stable.
Castleshane (IRE) Looks out of his depth here.
Prince of My Heart Suited by trip and going but it will be asking a lot for this old campaigner to run well against some unexposed types.
Barton Sands (IRE) Will be fitter for reappearance run last time but is opposable on balance of form.
Culzean (IRE) Well beaten in Lincoln last time and easily passed over.
Thundering Surf Consistent last year but others make more appeal.
