In depth
Formwatch
Duke of Earl (IRE) Difficult to see winning against better bred types.
Gold Guest Likely to do better in time over further distances; however, trainer has to be respected with his two-year-olds.
In Space (USA) US-bred colt who cost 100,000 guineas and trainer in cracking form at present; should be respected here.
Magic Trick Finished third in the Brocklesby at Doncaster; should put in another bold bid today.
Mandown Cheaply bought and unlikely to be up to figuring here.
Pachara Bred for sprints but may improve for this run.
Redback Well bred out of Mark of Esteem and should have speed to figure; trainer has to be respected in these races.
Shove Ha'penny (IRE) Should have plenty of speed and is one for the short-list.
Triple Play (IRE) Trainer in good form at present and should be well prepared.
