In depth
Formwatch
Trusted Mole (IRE) Much the best of these on official ratings; no show at Pontefract last time but this is his grade.
Golden Dragonfly (IRE) Largely campaigned on the sand in recent times; up in trip today; market should give best clue.
Mind Over Matter No form over longer distances; all to do on the book.
Texas Ranger Fancied when disappointing in a Windsor claimer last time; well behind Trusted Mole previously.
Tupgill Centurion Saddle slipped on last all-weather start; up in trip on seasonal debut.
Sashay Little encouragement on this term's performances; plenty to find on the book.
Zieting (IRE) Stayed on over 1m1f last time out; from a very shrewd yard and must be considered here.
Armida Regular in this sort of event; not certain to stay.
