In depth
Formwatch
Known Maneuver (USA) Open to improvement over this trip but may struggle to give weight away all-round.
Seattle Prince (USA) Should not be found wanting for stamina has shown a liking for this track, one to consider.
Gold Standard (IRE) Won well over course and distance last time and no reason why he should not go well again, may be hard to peg back if allowed to dominate.
High Spot Still a maiden and will need everything to right for him for that to change, others preferred.
Activist Open to improvement at this trip and is feasible well treated, should go well.
Monash Lady (IRE) Best efforts have come on the All Weather and may find life hard back in Handicap company.
Forest Light (IRE) Something to prove after poor run at Haydock last time and best watched.
Aegean Sunrise Something to find with Gold Standard on their meeting here at the start of the month and may be better when upped in trip.
