In depth
Formwatch
Strumpet Doubts about her staying ability but ran well behind good winner Inzacure here in December over 6f; on that form she must have a fair chance.
Flying Faisal (USA) Nice winner last time in first-time blinkers over 7f; not guaranteed to stay this mile but must have a chance in this weak event.
April Lee Easily opposable after long lay off; only victory so far was in a poor maiden and is readily passed over today.
York Whine (IRE) Good apprentice booked; has won twice on the AW and ran a goodish race over a mile here last time; good chance.
Look First (IRE) Took well to Fibresand after disappointing on Equitrack when landing a selling handicap over course and distance; up 8lbs so looks vunerable.
Sheer Focus (IRE) Will appreciate this step up in trip after finding 6f too sharp last time; ex-Barry Hills gelding who has definite chances today.
Billie H Not without a chance on turf form but probably needs a bit more experience on this surface; tried in blinkers today.
Miss Progressive (IRE) Out of form since winning a Sandown seller in August; needs to show a bit of form before being backed with confidence.
The Merry Widow (IRE) Needs to find a bit at the weights and is generally inconsistent; won a 7f seller here last month but more needed today.
Shoot Away Showed signs of ability when 3rd in a selleer at Wolverhampton last time; handicap debut but probably on a decent mark; interesting.
Deceives The Eye Hard to fancy on recent AW form.
