In depth
Formwatch
Our Destiny Struggled in better company last term and this is more his level; disappointed on all-weather debut last time but step back in trip should suit and is one for the short-list.
Cearnach First time blinkers a worrying sign and drop back in trip not certain to suit; looks best watched until signs of form.
I T Consultant Winner here over the minimum trip in November and ran well against older rivals last time; this looks his optimum trip and should run a good race again today.
Bali Royal Won well at Musselburgh last time and is clearly in good heart; however, may not be as effective over this slightly further distance.
Jacks Birthday (IRE) Looks very exposed after poor form last term and is hard to fancy today.
Blue Eyes Won a seller over today's course last month but needs to reverse form with four of today's rivals from last run.
Be My Tinker Has raced as though today's trip should suit but may find one or two too good in this competitive event.
Fiennes (USA) Has been in excellent form recently in some decent AW races; should run well today but may prefer the minimum trip.
Arkatme Ran well behind Fiennes over minimum trip last time and today's trip looks ideal; looks one of the main contenders today.
Cedar Tsar (IRE) Heavily raced and inconsistent performer who may not have the speed of some his rivals.
Diamond Zoe Has struggled early on in her races and that will not suit this type of race; will need to improve to take a hand today.
Komaluna Improved form on all-weather debut last time although bit to find with Fiennes on that run; step up in trip should suit and has chances.
Amamackemmush (IRE) Has looked a tricky ride hanging left on both his previous starts; may struggle to go today's likely fast pace.
True Note Has been well beaten in much worse races than this and is unlikely to trouble the judge today.
Scholar Leo No encouragement on three runs so far and unlikely to figure here.
