In depth
Formwatch
Blackthorn Deploy colt who stays well (won easily over C&D latest); will pose a threat despite topweight.
Goldthroat (IRE) Confirmed promise of debut effort when landing above average Redcar maiden earlier this month; has more to come and should be in the shake up.
Only Penang (IRE) Strong finisher over six furlongs to win Newbury maiden latest; will be suited by extra furlong but may have enough weight.
First Ordained (IRE) Has shown consistency for step up in trip in minor company and likely to improve for extra furlong; claims.
Washington Pink (IRE) Runner-up behind Naheef (subsequent Vintage Stakes winner) penultimate but slightly disappointing latest; must not be underestimated.
Silence Is Golden Comfortable Lingfield winner and not disgraced in competitive Goodwood nursery latest (now 1lb lower); place claims.
Sebring Has shown little so far but may find improvement for this stamina test.
Face The Limelight (IRE) Well beaten off simialr marks of late; others preferred.
Sneck Lifter Improved form for longer trip latest but more required here.
Eagles High (IRE) Will appreciate this step up in trip after shaping with promise over shorter; worth chancing off lenient mark.
