In depth
Formwatch
Atlantic Viking (IRE) Possible better over a furlong further but is becoming well handicapped and is not without hope.
Boanerges (IRE) Best at this trip as he showed with a good win at Musselburgh penultimate start; likely to give a good account of himself again.
Sharp Hat Wins his share but looks to have too much on his plate here.
Gdansk (IRE) A shade disappointing of late but represents last year's winning yard.
Beyond Calculation (USA) Doesn't win too often and looks plenty high in the handicap at present; stable continue on great form though.
Sylva Paradise (IRE) Handicapper is slow in relenting and he seems better at switchback tracks like Brighton; others are preferred.
Speedy James (IRE) Smart 2-y-o, but has been hammered in the weights until recently when he has fallen to a very attractive mark. Has shown definite signs of a revival of late and could go close.
Soba Jones Like his dam appears to be improving with age and should go well after his good win at Haydock last time.
Blessingindisguise Returns after looking out of sorts in early part of season; best watched at present.
Squirrel Nutkin (IRE) Modest form on A/W so far and this looks a tough task.
Cartmel Park Well beaten in similar grade last time and hard to fancy today.
Pierpoint (IRE) Good effort latest and looks to be running into form; sound each-way shot.
Quite Happy (IRE) Something to find on overall form and needs to show improvement to figure here.
Queens Musician Better than form might suggets having been drawn on the wrong side last time and eased after showing good speed for 4 furlongs; market worth watching closely.
Knockemback Nellie Scored easily at Brighton last time and is clearly in good heart; should carry her penalty well and not easily dismissed.
Pop The Cork Hasn't looked at his best so far this term and has something to find.
Mutasawwar Rarely gets his head in front but likely to be there or thereabouts.
Danakim IN good form at present and only just denied at Nottingham last week; deserves to win a race and has every chance here.
Another Victim Good win at Windsor penultimate start but has been hiked up the weights and this looks a little too hot to handle.
