In depth
Formwatch
Michel De Moeurs (FR) is confidently expected to see these lot off but he is very temperamental and it is not worth backing at very short odds. Zaidaan ran well on his debut and he should improve for that run. Of the others Ashbury Star who showed a modicum of ability on his debut could run into a place, the remainder look moderate on what they have shown so far.
