In depth

Formwatch

Arjaypear (IRE) Sire can get decent 2yo's; dam won three sellers at two and three.

Ashkalani Star (IRE) Likeable breeding in the context of the race and from the in-form Mark Johnston stable so has to come into the reckoning

Cat's Whiskers Cheaply-bought and subsequently gelded; on balance, others preferred

Delgado Interesting contender; third behind the speedy Time Royal on his debut at Newbury, definitely showing enough to win a race; experience is on his side and he's the one to beat despite a wide draw

Dust To Dust (IRE) Cheaply-bought gelding but enough in his pedigree to suggest that he cannot be dismissed from calculations; should come on for debut run but has to improve to feature

In Space (USA) Showed some promise on debut at Newmarket on April 19 and although five furlongs might in time prove too sharp for him, he has the benefit of a run under his belt and his stable are in form; dam won the Nell Gwyn Stakes

Lord Merlin (IRE) Stable not noted for its 2yo winners but there is plenty in the pedigree of this colt, who cost IR40,000gns to suggest he can make his mark along the way; sire liked give in the ground

Marshman (IRE) Stable is not a readily-identifiable source of 2yo winners; can't be dismissed on breeding but, on balance, others preferred

Secret Spoof Sprint-bred and can't be readily dismissed; the market might prove the best guide

Sir Netbetsports (IRE) Late foal; no show on debut at Nottingham on April 16 and others preferred

Toni Alcala On breeding this Ezzoud colt is likely to need further than 5f; others preferred

Travelling Times April 16 foal; there is certainly speed in the pedigree; Tim Easterby has three runners in this and the market might prove the best guide

Jerpahni 26,000gns Distant Relative filly from Geoff Wragg's stable; certainly can't be dismissed

Sharks Eyes (IRE) Enough to like in her breeding; stable has three runners in this race and the market may be the best guide
