In depth
Formwatch
Melodian First attempt over this trip though best effort recently came over 9f at York; would prefer more rain.
Silk St John Stayed this 10f well when finishing a close up fourth at Kempton two months ago; has the ability to win this and should run well.
Trouble Mountain (USA) Seems equally effective from 6f-10f and on any ground; won well last time out and excellent chance today.
My Very Own (IRE) Outsiders chance if putting poor run last time out behind him.
Bond Millennium Put up his best performance in defeat over this trip in August; could go well at a working man's price.
Mister McGoldrick Looks a tough assignment after such a long absence and trainer in poor form.
Scene (IRE) Put in his best effort on debut for new trainer over this trip; below par last time but is up to winning this type of event.
Forza Figlio Below his best last time out but capable on his day; trainer could be in better form.
Maycocks Bay Every chance at his best but form seems to tailing off of late; others preferred.
Annadawi Generally consistent but suspicion that ten furlongs is a little too short these days.
Cezzaro (IRE) Ran below his best despite winning last time out; trainer in form but does not seem well handicapped.
Shaman Gradually improving this time of year and should be at his peak today; has never been this far north before.
Positive Profile (IRE) Ran above himself last time out for new trainer; should run well unless the 'new surroundings' factor has worn off.
Waseyla (IRE) Disappointed on ground too firm last time out; had previously run well at Folkestone and might be worth another chance.
Dare First attempt on turf for a long time and is best watched today.
Ting (IRE) Tries this trip for the first time and can run some decent races if in the mood; possibilities.
