In depth
Formwatch
Mitcham (IRE) Five furlongs seems to be his trip and trainer is in top form; ground may be too firm however.
Candleriggs (IRE) Lightly-raced of late and dropping down in trip; has run well over the minimum trip and is one to consider.
Argent Facile (IRE) Not sure to be suited by this firm ground and this distance looks too short.
Alegria Consistent sort who rarely runs a bad race; suited by this trip and going and should be there or thereabouts.
Jodeeka Ran his best race of his life at Hamilton three days ago and with the trainer in good form this gelding has an excellent chance.
Our Fred Looks the best of the two stable entries on recent form; top notch effort last time over this trip and looks the one to beat.
Dunedin Rascal Disappointed last time but is capable of running well on his day; interesting outsider.
Faute de Mieux Put up his best performance over this course and distance last year; one to consider.
That Man Again Course and distance winner who has been running well of late; suited by any surface but looks slightly out of his depth here.
Fly More Looks better suited by six furlongs but with trainer in such good form he could run into a place.
Double Oscar (IRE) Can run the occasional poor race but has ability; possibly better suited by the AW these days and others preferred.
