In depth
Formwatch
Vicious Dancer Plenty enough weight to carry here and yet to sparkle this term.
Shoeshine Boy (IRE) Out of form at present and booking (no offence intended) doesn't give much confidence.
The Trader (IRE) In good nick at present but he has yet to win off a mark this high.
Smokin Beau Bids for back to back victories but question marks over five furlongs.
Ambitious Game sort; probably better suited by 5f and seems to go on any ground.
Dashing Blue Talented performer on his day but probably best watched today.
Henry Hall (IRE) Looks out of form at present and would not like it too soft.
Jessica's Dream (IRE) In form; only up four pounds but will be plenty short enough in the betting.
Annette Vallon (IRE) Always well backed but probably wouldn't like the recent rain
Leozian Paying the penalty for a good run earlier in the season but strong handling assured today.
Sunley Sense Any softening in the going would be of great assistance.
Bandanna Out of handicap here and her price is a fair reflection of her chances.
Rita's Rock Ape Difficult to see this trailblazer winning at these weights.
Connect Never far away in sprint events but the ease in the ground won't help his chances here.
