In depth
Formwatch
Hoh Invader (IRE) Useful winning hurdler/chaser; having only second start on the level when a close third in similar event at Newcastle last week; should not be underestimated.
Ahraar (USA) Full brother to high-class 1995 1,000 Guineas winner Harayir; won't be living up to his pedigree but will be suited by step up in trip and has already shown enough to suggest he can win this ordinary event.
Chinese Cracker By sprinter King's Signet out of winning handicapper by Bustino; best watched on debut.
Dr Strangelove (IRE) Some useful form as a juvenile (six lengths behind Tobougg in York maiden) but hasn't progressed this term; now wears visors for the first time.
Geri Roulette No chance on either start to date.
