In depth
Formwatch
Leozian Has been in good form of late and was unlucky in running when a beaten favourite last time out; should put up a bold bid to make amends.
Byo (IRE) Not disgraced in a better race at Ascot last time out but still looks a little too high in the handicap for the time being.
Columbine (IRE) Out of sorts at present and hard to fancy.
Double Brew Ran well sole start this term over a longer trip and this return to the minimum should suit; sure to give a good account of himself.
Blakeshall Boy Big run last time out at Ascot and a reproduction of that effort entitles him to plenty of respect.
Red Ryding Hood Still fairly well handicapped and didn'tget the best of runs at Ayr last time so better judged on previous Folkestone success; stable showing signs of hitting form of late.
Headland (USA) Fairly unexposed and put up a good show when gong down to the well handicapped Armagnac at Ripon last week; leading chance.
Effervesce (IRE) Versatile sort who ran well for a long way in hot race at York last time; stable in good form.
Baby Bunting Looks to have it all to do on the balance of form shown so far.
Foley Millennium (IRE) Coming down the ratings as a result of some lack-lustre recent efforts but still hard to enthuse over.
Regal Air (IRE) Well beaten in varied company of late and up against it once again here.
If By Chance Not without a chance if able to reproduce recent Folkestone running with Red Ryding Hood and had shaped well previously against Sabana over a trip in excess of his best; each-way chance.
Olivia Grace First attempt in handicap company and hard to assess on the balance of two outings so far; market may provide best clues to her chance.
Justalord Uninspiring form of late and needs to improve.
