In depth
Formwatch
Bandari (IRE) Two wins in three starts and experience in the Group 3 Solario should help this Mark Johnston colt make a big challenge.
Bit of Luck Always thereabouts and finally got his head in front at Beverley in August. Beaten by Bandari last time out. Good chance.
Don Fernando Lost maiden tag at first attempt and made an encouraging debut over a mile at Newbury last month. Trainer has good places conversion. Every chance.
Duke of Earl (IRE) Has improved for every race this season and seeks his third consecutive win over the mile.
Harnour Has won twice over the mile recently and a consistent sort. But has had quite a long season. Placing chances.
Jack The Track (IRE) Won first time out over a mile at Kempton and looks on the upgrade. Lack of race experience may hinder him in this company.
Infinite Spirit (USA) Loder has enjoyed an excellent season with his 2YOs , but this mile may prove a little too much for this lightly raced filly.
Kasamba First time over a mile and seems to need a fast surface. Outside chance.
Raison Garde (IRE) Dominant performance at Beverley last month, but untested over a mile. Others preferred.
Sophorific (IRE) Both Bandari and Bit Of Luck have had the measure of this highly consistent filly, but she can never be written off. Yet to win over a mile. Outside chance.
White Rabbit Won at course over 6f in August, but didn't get the mile at Doncaster recently. Best watched for improvement.
Wishingwell Lady (IRE) Came last in debut at Kempton last month. May improve for run, but other preferred here.
