In depth
Formwatch
Destination Consistent maiden who deserves to get his head in front; suited by track and trip.
Knighted Put up much improved performance when trouncing a goodish field at Doncaster two weeks ago; should go well again.
Bridie's Pride Front runner who always seems to run out of steam.
Pride of India (IRE) Had to be really encouraged when winning here last week and could run into a better horse here.
High Policy (IRE) Has raced mainly on the AW and looks up against it at the weights.
Skye Blue (IRE) Rare runner on the Flat for trainer; up against it on balance of form but could spring a surprise with good apprentice aboard.
Pretty Obvious Back on a winning mark; stable out of form and not one to get heavily involved with.
Drift Not bred to stay (dam was 2nd in Wokingham) and has yet to prove he will stay.
Established Decent handicap stayer but will probably find this surface on the slow side.
Martha Reilly (IRE) Not out of this totally despite being out of the handicap; ran some good race last term and could spring a surprise today.
Ulshaw Improving of late on the AW at this distance; place chances.
Orleans (IRE) Will struggle from out of the handicap.
Sconced (USA) May find things tough from so far out of the handicap.
Sparkling Dove Too far out of the handicap to make himself a serious candidate.
