In depth
Formwatch
Malarkey In good form at the moment and despite plenty of weight is capable of making his presence felt.
Red Delirium Might be better over a longer trip and is plenty high enough in the weights at the moment.
Davis Rock Has had a break since last run and could go well if back to his best form of earlier in the season.
Sharp Steel Lost his way last few starts but is another who will be better for the break but may need the run to put him straight.
Genial Genie Didn't get the best of runs last time and granted a clear path today could be in the shake-up if on his mettle.
Sualtach (IRE) Trip was too far fro him last time but previous form at this distance gives this standing dish every chance at the weights; each-way possibilities.
Colombe d'Or Was in cracking form in March but the bubble was well and truly burst last time and he looks to be too high in the handicap.
Marvel Ran some good races in his grade last term but is more then likely to be better for the outing today.
Grub Street Won a soft ground handicap at Thirsk last term but made no show on reappearance and may need another run or two to be seen at his best.
Robbies Dream (IRE) Has shown little in recent outings and is hard to fancy in this company.
Rex Is Okay Back at his best trip and has gone well round here in the past; not without a chance and could run into a place.
Wonderful Man Poor form of late on flat and over hurdles and is unlikely to trouble the judge.
Pillager Best at 10 furlongs and might find a few of these a little too pacey today.
Chicanery (IRE) Hinted at more to come with a fair effort last time and is no forlorn hope; market may prove best guide.
Stravsea Has tumbled down the weights of late but still hasn't shown enough to suggest he's on the way back.
Mai Tai (IRE) Sound effort behind Al Ghabraa last time and a repeat would entitle her to e real chance today off a light weight; sure to give supporters a good run for their money.
