In depth
Formwatch
Andys Joy (IRE) Debutant from stable with tremendous record here; watch the market.
Churchill This fellow's jockey may be smoking a cigar-at the start; little chance on all known form.
Generous Deal (IRE) Winning pointer; pulled up on both starts this season.
Lord Seamus Lightly raced from a stable with a decent record at the course; good chance.
Mad Jack No show in both bumpers; first race for well over a year; hard to get excited about.
Moore's Melodies (IRE) First ever runner at the course for Matthew Gingell who has travelled a long way from base in Horningsea in Cambridgeshire; winning pointer who could go well at big price.
Regal Statesman (NZ) Lightly campaigned individual who hails from a yard with a fine record here; interesting.
Something Happened (NZ) New Zealand import who has to be respected with Tony Dobbin booked to do the steering.
Gracie Grey Still a maiden after 12 races but highly tried last season; not one to dismiss.
Haughty Lady Very disappointing when pulled up on sole start over hurdles.
Perrianna Some ability on only start to date this season.
The Only Option (IRE) Promise when fifth on Sedgefield debut the other week; claims.
Takeyourtime Rated a good thing based on 21 lengths second behind Montalcino at Aintree in April; the horse they have to beat.
