In depth
Formwatch
Amber Castle far from disgraced on Wincanton bow and should improve but may not be good enough here.
Bob Le Gaoth (IRE) Good run when third on debut at Newbury and must be respected here; should appreciate the ground and likely to go close.
Bronzesmith Showed some ability on both starts so far but unlikely to reach the frame here.
Charmouth Forest No show on sole start and can't be recommended.
Grumpy Stumpy Clear pick on form after just failing on debut at Newbury (hold Bob le Gaoth); sure to take the beating.
Hillesley Henry Little sign of ability so far and is best watched.
Aroseforclare Beat one home on only start and unlikely to do much better here.
Cats Cross Plenty to find with the principals and is hard to fancy.
Estrela Candente No sign of ability on only start so far.
Maybelle Mid-division in Fontwell bumper but this looks a lot tougher and she is set to struggle.
Miss Soprano Unattractively bred debutante who is hard to enthuse about.
Monger Lane Big run at Cheltenham last time and a reproduction of that effort would give the selection plenty to think about.
Phar Breeze (IRE) Likely to need more experience after to moderate efforts so far.
Shake Eddie Shake (IRE) Way behind on Newbury bow and a great deal more needed her.
Tappingthecoffin Last on debut; can't be considered.
Pelican Millie Poor effort sole start and doesn't look good enough.
