In depth
Formwatch
Falcon Spirit Unseated rider when leading clear last time out; inconsistent but may be placed in this company.
Toshiba Times Ran second place over this C&D two weeks ago, but in a slow time; may improve due to recent experience.
Heathyards Tipple (IRE) Had good form two seasons ago, but unimpressive so far; well-raced recently, so could improve further today.
San Dimas (USA) Improved when wearing a visor last week and took second place after Falcon Spirit's exit; every chance with these inmates.
Sir Cador (IRE) Not dangerous in previous outings; was behind San Dimas last time out, and unlikely to challenge here.
Diamond Crown (IRE) Been runner-up three times this season and second over this C&D last week; best of the bunch here.
Annespride Unimpressive form this season; unlikely to challenge here.
Dig For Gold Has not finished twice in three races; may do better for drop in trip, but unlikely to be placed.
Regal Splendour (CAN) Has shown little to encourage on previous three trips; difficult to see him figuring here.
Latin Bay Has run further than this and improved on drop in distance last month; may appreciate the shorter trip.
Little Worsall (IRE) Moderate.
Ghutah Faces difficult task even in this grade.
Real Fire (IRE) Had better of Regal Splendour last time out; moderate chance.
Notional (IRE) Showed little ability in previous races and favours softer ground; not one to enthuse about.
Classic Affair (FR) Very moderate form to date.
Socialist (USA) No sign of ability so far.
