In depth
Formwatch
Free Will Has chances but easier opportunities will come to get off the mark and overlooked today.
Junkanoo Has come to Flat from National Hunt but was well behind last time and may struggle again here.
African Dawn Son of Spectrum who has to be feared on debut; market may provide best clues.
Gaudi Parc Easily overlooked.
Hutch Difficult to fancy after two moderate starts.
Leophin Dancer (USA) Found just Loder inmate too good last time and this will be easier; looks the one to beat.
Wainak (USA) Ease in class will hope this American-bred colt and is one for the short-list.
Staploy Filly has shown plenty of ability on four starts and should have a good chance to get off the mark.
Dunkerron Pursuit Of Love gelding who has shown ability but was well beaten at Ayr last time; likely to find one or two too good again.
Rimfaxi Looks to have little chance.
Wee Nel Readily dismissed after showing nothing in two starts.
