In depth
Formwatch
Champion Lodge (IRE) Coming down the weights but best watched until showing more sparkle.
Elmhurst Boy Others make more appeal at these weights.
Lermontov (USA) Caught the eye when a staying on second last time out; but is he on a going day?
Kirovski (IRE) Has a chance at big odds if the rain comes in time.
Kilkenny Castle (IRE) Yet to show since return from a long absence.
Muyassir (IRE) In good form (bar last race); wouldn't appreciate any more rain though.
Pulau Pinang (IRE) Best watched after suffering heart problem in latest race.
Ragdale Hall (USA) Doesn't look the strongest of finishers and likely to find a couple too good
Just Nick Had a purple patch earlier this term but plenty high enough in weights at present.
Counsel's Opinion (IRE) Dropped markedly in trip and best watched in market.
Hail The Chief All weather performer who has a bit to find on turf form.
Dumaran (IRE) Won at Goodwood latest and quickly out again. Major chance if not feeling any exertions from that race.
Silk St John Would certainly come into the equation if any more rain fell.
Riverblue (IRE) Difficult to fancy after a spell over hurdles
Blushing Prince (IRE) Interesting runner here; difficult to assess from a form perspective as most of his running has been on artificial surfaces.
Porak (IRE) Beaten two lengths by Scheming latest and not without a chance here.
