In depth
Formwatch
Bishopstone Man Has run reasonably well on the All-Weather so far; one for the short-list again today.
Solly's Pal Won last time out at Wolverhampton and looks in good form; could run another big race.
Proud Chief Poor effort last time and remains best watched.
Rimatara Has been in good form this winter but disappointed on last run; may have run out of form.
La Sylphide Lightly-raced and returning from a lay-off; difficult to see taking a hand.
Saguaro Capable performer on his day; is on a high all-weather mark nowadays and will find it hard to win today.
Geronimo Possesses the ability to win this but first-time blinkers are a worrying sign.
Now Is The Hour Finally got off the mark at Wolverhampton in December; may find one or two too good today.
Society King (IRE) Has looked a tricky ride and first-time visor may improve his chances today; however, difficult to place too much faith in him.
Superapparos Has had a busy couple of months running well over shorter distances; however, unlikely to appreciate this step up in trip.
Rio's Diamond Decent run at Lingfield in November, on her last start; goes well on today's surface and should run well if fit after break.
Qandil (USA) Lightly-raced consistent all-weather performer; jockey booking suggests another good run can be expected today.
Time Proof Hard to fancy on all-weather debut.
Oakwell Ace Won a claimer on the turf and has not been disgraced on the all-weather recently; however, may find one or two too good on this surface.
Initiative Has run poorly over six furlongs on his last two starts and will appreciate this extra furlong; however, may not be up to winning this.
Rambo Nine Has shown little signs of ability.
