In depth

Formwatch

Balakheri (IRE) Staying on second behind David Loder's Lunar Sovereign at Leicester over seven furlongs last time; should appreciate the step up in trip although ground probably softer than ideal. Still the one to beat.

Contact Dancer (IRE) By Sadler's Wells so soft ground should not pose a problem; needs to improve on the form book to trouble the favourite.

Esprit d'Artiste (IRE) Only beat one home in valuable sales race at Newmarket on debut; longer trip should suit but needs to improve greatly.

Hannavee Son of Hamas; already been gelded which suggests he may have been temperamental.

Le Ruban Bleu (IRE) Well beaten on debut in Kempton maiden in July; absent since and may have been waiting for these more testing conditions.

Lord Stradbroke (USA) Last of 20 on Newmarket debut just over a week ago; likely to do better on faster ground.

Loud And Proud No real encouragement from two starts so far; handles soft ground but out of his depth here.

Moth Hil (USA) Debut for this son of Danzig; nicely bred but likely to be better on a faster surface than this.

Ndola Little sign of ability in two outings to date.

Not Proven Not certain to appreciate either the return to a mile or the softer ground.

Pure Mischief (IRE) Handled the testing ground at Ayr well enough last time; may improve for the longer trip.

Silistra By Sadler's Wells out of a Machiavellian mare so should go on the ground all right; looks stable second string with Fallon aboard Balakheri.

Researcher Creditable effort here last time; goes in the ground but likely to find at least one too good.
