Formwatch
Major Laugh Gained deserved maiden success on all-weather at Southwell and no disgraced on handicap debut latest but looks a shade high in weights.
Bit of Luck No chance with impressive Leo's Luckyman over this trip in Ayr maiden but given fair mark for handicap bow; should go well.
Stroke of Six (IRE) Did well to beat large field in salisbury maiden and ran with credit in minor event latest; sure to improve again for step up in trip and is a leading contender here.
Folie de Grandeur (USA) Well related filly who is progressing well and has fair mark; has to be feared.
Charnwood Street (IRE) Still a maiden although 10lb for two lengths beating behind Major Laugh on Southwell form gives him a squeak.
No Argument Has shown very little so far although came up against a useful performer latest; will need to improve.
