In depth
Formwatch
Crystal Gift Won well last time out and he is still well handicapped on his best form and he looks the one to beat here.
Chief Minister (IRE) Is getting long in the tooth now but he will like the ground and he could run well at a fair price.
Red Imp Is in good form but he is going up the weights and his best form is over shorter trips.
Just Lizzie Won well last time out but she is up in the weights here and she may struggle to get home in this ground.
My Shenandoah (IRE) His best form is on fast ground and he has never ran well on a soft surface and for that reason he is readily passed over.
Ernest William (IRE) His best form is on faster ground and he has a long absence to overcome.
Cottstown Boy (IRE) Will love the ground and stay the trip but he may be even better over further.
Minivet Is out of form of late and his best form is on faster ground.
Perfect Venue (IRE) Was a decent novice but he seems to have lost his way of late and others are preferred.
Barrelbio (IRE) Will like the ground has a top jockey booked and he has a handy weight, major chance.
