In depth
Formwatch
Dark Before Dawn (USA) Formerly with Mark Johnston but sold cheaply; little show on debut, on AW
Lady Fearless Has been tried at 2m1f so a drop back to 6f is a curious one.
Polar Beauty (IRE) Injured on her intended start last summer; some hope on breeding in what looks, with the exception of a couple of runners, a modest event
Sateen Should stay a good deal further than this in time; has place claims at this level though
Benedictine Has an outstanding chance of dispensing with his maiden status today; his fifth to Inchcape last time looks well above what is required here
Dixie's Darts Little show in two back-end maidens last season; couldn't be a strong fancy
Perpetuity A mixture of speed and stamina on breeding; others likely to be sharper
Ridgeway Lad Gelded since debut run of last season; third in that and showed promise; could be the one for the forecast
Tonto O'Reilly Some promise on third run last year but does not seem to have progressed; plenty of speed in the pedigree and trainer can place them well
Annatto (USA) She ran well on occasion last year in much better company than this; the downside is that she was reintroduced on the AW (no real show) and is fitted with blinkers today so does not seem straightforward
Lady Dancer Certainly bred for speed; stable not a readily-identifiable source of winners of this nature
Mi Favorita No show thus far; stable hasn't been doing too badly but this one could not be suggested with wholesale confidence
