In depth
Formwatch
Act In Time (IRE) Just got up to beat Key Debate in May. Off top weight today but must have a chance.
Sad Mad Bad (USA) Beaten Favourite behind Act in Time latest. Proving difficult to win with but credible place form in some decent chases.
Mordon Boy (IRE) PU behind Monte Cresta at Perth in Soft ground, appreciating the firmer ground when going on to win at Wetherby although beating little of note.
Monte Cresta (IRE) Put up an improved performance to win on soft ground at Perth in May. Inconsistent form a worry and jumping can be slow but at her best must be considered.
Rockcliffe Gossip Latest form over fences is not inspiring; others preferred.
Galen (IRE) Third to Dragon King at Market Rasen latest. Won on firm ground at Southwell in May; one for the short list.
Unforgotten Star (IRE) First run for new connections, but Irish form of late does not suggest a win is on the cards today.
Cresswell Quay Some placed form in chases, but fell on last start at Bangor; others preferred.
