In depth
Formwatch
Balladeer (IRE) Has shown enough ability on three runs to suggest he can figure here.
Dennis El Menace Poor run on reappearance and may be best watched for now; would prefer drier ground.
Sakamoto Looks out of his depth here.
Halcyon Daze Decent form last season including a good second at Leicester; however, may need today's run.
Laund View Leona Has shown little ability so far and unlikely to figure here.
Parvenue (FR) Won on debut at Nottingham and not disgraced on two runs after; may need the run but has plenty enough ability to be a leading contender today.
Tar Fih (USA) Ran well on all three outings last term and stable is in excellent form at present; should be the one to beat today.
