        In depth

        Formwatch

        Shaard (IRE) Will be suited to this surface and trip and no reason to see him not running well for a trainer in form.

        Ghayth Could find this slow surface to his disadvantage although ran some decent races last term; from respected yard.

        Down To The Woods (USA) Is capable of winning this sort of event and trainer not noted for having many runners in this race; this trip might stretch his stamina.

        Clearing Won Horris Hill last season and will cope with any ground; sharp trip may not see him to his best advantage.

        Bram Stoker (IRE) Looks the speedy type who could take this event; some excellent efforts last season and definitely one for the shortlist.

        Pan Jammer Will need to improve on efforts last season to play a role against some smart horses.

        Barking Mad (USA) Highly tried last season and always ran with credit; might lack

        Palanzo (IRE) Ran a decent race here towards the end of the year when stepping up from maiden company; each way claims with stable in form.

        Palace Affair Out of his depth here.

        Reel Buddy (USA) May struggle to see out this stiff seven furlongs.
