In depth
Formwatch
Seeking The Sun (IRE) Good win at Haydock on second run and should improve again here although may struggle off this weight.
Foxcote Has shown good speed and put up best effort over this trip last time; one for the short-list.
Villa Del Sol Has had a busy but very successful season however could do with a break and stable is out of form.
Direct Play Speedy type who was suited by drop back to six furlongs last time; may not be as effective at this trip.
Investor (IRE) Chester winner who was not suited by cut in the ground last time; should run better here but likely to find one or two too good.
Evening Serenade (IRE) Disappointed at Epsom and form of races hasn't worked out all that well; overlooked today.
Nazareth (IRE) Has been running well at this trip and although good run can be expected will need to improve to find the winner's enclosure.
Mujasina (IRE) Best effort came over six furlongs and after poor run last time is dismissed here.
Offa's Dyke (IRE) Has hardly run a bad race so far but has shown a significant liking to the fibresand of Wolverhampton; not as good on turf but still a leading contender.
Sebring Has been getting better with every run and Darley is an eye-catching booking; has a good draw and looks likely to make a bold bid.
Bualadhbos (IRE) Did not seem suited by the step up in trip last time and best watched.
Tan Hill Fair (IRE) Improved run last time but more required to take a hand today.
Ivorsagoodun Ran well at Bath but poor run at Sandown more recently and would be better suited by a return to sprinting.
Petite Futee Has been running consistently well and although will need to improve to win can put up another good effort.
