In depth
Formwatch
Xaipete (IRE) Very consistent performer who looks high in the weights at present and may prefer drier ground.
Bella Macrae Last run can be ignored as she was hampered early on and would take all the beating on previous run.
Macalan (FR) Ex-French performer who has struggled so far in Britain; best watched today.
Teme Valley Won a weak race at Catterick in January and will need to improve on balance of form to figure today.
Salvage In consistent form at present and has the ability to take a hand here; bit to find though with Cosmic Case on recent run.
Gospel Song Looks out of form at present and may be best watched.
Stop The Gossip (IRE) Capable on his day but refused to race on last start and that does not auger well for today's race.
Cosmic Case Is in good form at present with wins at Kelso and Musselburgh; no reason why she shouldn't figure again today.
Bodfari Signet Good run last time to score at Musselburgh; not without a chance again today but this is better opposition.
One Stop Suited by today's ground when winning at Carlisle last time but may struggle from out of the handicap.
Sayeh (IRE) Has been off the track for some time but would take all the beating on his best form; would not want the ground too soft and a leading contender if fit.
