In depth
Formwatch
Royale Angela (FR) Pulled up latest but had previously run well in minor contests; sure to give her supporters a shout but might have too much on her plate today.
Creon Good handicap form this season and although a short-priced beaten favourite latest was far from disgraced. Has been rising up the handicap though and might find one too good on this occasion.
Mini Moo Min Decent mare returning from a short break and must be respected although has something to find on a literal form line with Creon.
Knighted Ultra consistent sort likely to give supporters another good run for their money.
Vilprano Fair staying handicapper on his day but none too consistent; could go close though if on a going day.
Bramble Fair (IRE) Has been well placed by connections to land her hattrick; stays and jumps well and will make a bold bid to defy the handicapper once more.
In The Rough (IRE) Stable have had a miserable time this term but have shown signs of a return to form of late. Ran well at Warwick latest and looks capable of figuring prominently.
Rushen Raider Moderate staying handicapper who looks out of his depth in today's company.
