In depth
Formwatch
Shoeshine Boy (IRE) Ran creditably on reappearance at Nottingham on Monday but again has plenty of weight to carry.
Elsie Plunkett Had some solid form as a juvenile and has to be respected; stable's runners tend to improve for the outing.
Speedy Gee (IRE) Relatively exposed after two-year-old campaign; stable yet to hit top form.
Oreana (FR) Handled cut in the ground when winning her maiden at Doncaster last season; stable in great form but faces a stiff task on debut in a handicap.
Threezedzz Encouraging reappearance effort at Newmarket last week over six furlongs; drop to the minimum should not be a problem but draw is a worry.
Kyllachy Unexposed after just three starts as a juvenile; well enough treated to take a hand but faces a difficult task from the number one berth.
Dreams Desire Unproven on ground this soft and stable could be in better form.
Byo (IRE) Comes here fit from the all-weather and a useful looking display at Nottingham earlier in the week; entitled to be thereabouts.
Amelia (IRE) Well held on first outing of the season last week; seems in handicapper's grip at present.
Vendome (IRE) Had some solid form in nurseries last term; yet to race this season but stable's runners have been going well.
Lilleman Has only won on the all-weather; looks harshly treated back on turf.
Funny Valentine (IRE) Held by Oreana on Doncaster running last season but won well at Lingfield last time; stable in form and off low weight may be in the shake-up.
Quantum Lady Has form in the soft but was beaten a long way at Newmarket on reappearance; needs to improve on that effort.
Mishka Yet to prove he handles ground this soft; cannot be discounted from the plum draw.
