      In depth

      Formwatch

      Tumbleweed Ridge Mainly consistent on his travels but looks held by Shibboleth, judged on their last meeting.

      Shibboleth (USA) Found the extra furlong against him last time and looks sure to give a better account now dropped back to his preferred trip.

      Smart Ridge Can get worked up in the preliminaries and any rain would not aid his cause, however can get closer to Shibboleth than he did in their last meeting if the ground remains on the firm side.

      Valentino Needs to be produced late and is probably just as effective at seven furlongs as he is a mile, has to be considered.

      Nice One Clare (IRE) Won the Wokingham in good style last week, however the small field may not play to her strengths as she likes to challenge late.

      Reel Buddy (USA) Well beaten in his event at Royal Ascot and looks up against it here.
