In depth
Formwatch
Thari (USA) Acts on any ground; improved effort last time out but overall level of form looks below what is required here. Value Price 66/1.
Thundering Surf 1m 4f specialist who is extremely consistent at on most surfaces; trainer in good form and capable of going well here. Value Price 16/1.
Solo Flight Generally consistent and effective 10-14f; suited by most surfaces but has never been at his best in the past at this track. Value Price 12/1.
Regatta Point (IRE) Has run well here in the past though perhaps better over 10f; should still run well and one to consider. Value Price 8/1.
Scorned (GER) Lightly-raced of late and improving; stable in form and does well here; possibilities if stepping up on good recent run at Ayr. Value Price 14/1.
Mesmeric (IRE) Disappointing last time out over course and distance though had previously run well at Newbury over 13f; may be out of his depth here. Value Price 18/1.
Pulau Pinang (IRE) Quality effort last time out at Hamilton and a reproduction of that effort will see him go close. Value Price 10/1.
Octavius Caesar (USA) Good performer although a little inconsistent; enjoys this trip though may struggle up the hill. Value Price 50/1.
Motto (FR) Step down in trip is a worry and perhaps better on a faster surface; trainer still dangerous in this type of event but balance of form not up to standard. Value Price 25/1
Harlequin Effective on any ground and seems to suit this trip; slightly disappointing last time out but every chance if back on song. Value Price 10/1.
Captain's Log Lost his way of late and looks way out of depth here. Value Price 40/1.
Royal Minstrel (IRE) Best effort have come on a fast surface but suited by this trip and has the ability to land this type of event. Value Price 18/1.
Nowell House Has run well here before but seems to prefer an softer surface than he may get here; trip no problem and trainer starting to hit form. Value Price 28/1
Port Moresby (IRE) Improving sort who handles most surfaces; excellent chance if handling this step up in trip and trainer in good form. Value Price 9/1.
Persian Pride (IRE) Not out of it at his very best but not one to rely upon and has been disappointing of late. Value Price 22/1
