In depth
Formwatch
Border Edge Will appreciate this step back to a mile and is stepping down in class; good chance today.
Bishop's Secret Has run some fair races over 7f here recently and might enjoy the extra furlong; good jockey booking but possibly badly handicapped.
Westernmost Stable in great form on this surface; ability on turf is not great; watch for any significant market moves.
Tirana (IRE) Unlucky in running of late; potentially nicely weighted and should go well for a senior jockey taking over from a claimer.
Mrs Tiggywinkle Well drawn but that is all to recommend this poor animal.
Celerity (IRE) Trainer does well here; ran well in defeat here last time out and is one for the shortlist over this extra furlong.
Pierdete (IRE) Blinkers applied today in an attempt to sharpen him up; put up best effort to date last time out over course and distance.
Miss Sutton Possibly lacks a bit of a finish and will probably find a couple too quick today.
Balanou First attempt on this surface; looks harshly treated at present but jockey booking is a plus.
Base Line This distance looks to stretch her stamina and others are preferred.
Datin Star Bred to stay a mile but form evidence is lacking; easily opposed.
Little Pearl (IRE) Another doubtful stayer; has run well here before and has place opportunities.
Mare of Wetwang Needs things to go her way; performed adequately from a poor draw last time and on a lenient mark.
Keep Dreaming Didn't stay 11f last time; comes from good yard and set to go well today; present handicap mark the main drawback to her chances.
Broughton Storm Tailed off in recent runs; tried without blinkers today but still little appeal.
Worth A Ring Will need to improve on her 2yo form to make a show here on her seasonal reappearance.
