In depth
Formwatch
Itsanothergirl Will probably need to come down a few pounds in the handicap before getting competitve this season.
Riverblue (IRE) Needs to lose a few pounds from his handicap mark and will struggle in these conditions.
Brandy Cove Out of form of late but ran best race ever on this track and on this ground.
Dinar (USA) Progressive towards the end of last season; has the ability to go well but looks a little high in the weights.
Prince du Soleil (FR) Can go well when fresh and looks on a handy mark; very much one to consider.
Route Sixty Six (IRE) Ultra-consistent gelding who must be in with an excellent chance in a race that is not packed with likely winners.
Golden Oscar Lightly raced and open to improvement but has twice finished plum last in his races.
Tightrope Has only won a seller of late but with a trainer who is showing an expertise for the game and should go close here.
Test The Water (IRE) Not won for over three years but has dropped to a mark he could win off; outsider's chance at a good price.
King Tut Not been in the best of form of late on the AW; much more needed to win this.
College King (IRE) Lightly-raced but is exposed enough to suggest he is not good enough.
Fisher Island (IRE) Last win came here in a similar contest and although disappointed afterward clearly showed a liking for this track.
Chicanery (IRE) Fit from the AW and lightly-raced enough to suggest improvement is likely.
Picture Mee Won seller last time out but this is a lot tougher.
Cumbrian Princess Inconsistent and not to be trusted.
Comeoutofthefog (IRE) Tends to finish closer to last than first and others are preferred.
Bunty Not up to the standard of winning this.
Davis Rock Possibly a little too high in the weights at the moment but is capable on his day.
