In depth
Formwatch
Laurieston Flo (IRE) and Kaluga hold strongest claims in what looks a very weak race. The former was placed on the sand and showed speed in a much better race at Brighton on her return to turf. Kaluga has not shown a great deal of form in three attempts so far, but does take a hefty drop in class and will have the assistance of the champion jockey aboard. Best of the rest is clearly Dispol Foxtrot, who won a seller on the all-weather but was beaten out of sight at Nottingham recently.
