      In depth

      Formwatch

      Adilabad (USA) Twice a winner last season and stable tends to do well with their older horses; however, Stoute yard yet to get into top gear and may need the run.

      Border Arrow Beat Pawn Broker a neck at Kempton over Easter but 3lb worse off today; may not be able to confirm form on revised terms.

      Island House (IRE) Well beaten at Nad Al Sheba last month; handles cut in the ground but probably needs to improve.

      Island Sound Beaten 14 lengths behind Border Arrow at Kempton; faces a stiff task if he is to reverse that form.

      Pawn Broker Meets Border Arrow on 3lb better terms than at Kempton and should be able to reverse form on these revised terms; entitled to improve for debut outing for stable then.

      Gold Academy (IRE) Has an absence to overcome and with his better form on a faster surface is probably best left alone.
