In depth
Formwatch
Cresswell Native (IRE) Dropped 3lbs by the handicapper but suspicion that a few pounds more might be needed.
Kings Castle (IRE) Should strip fitter for recent run; jockey booking is eye-catching.
Doublet Looks a possibility although connections don't look too certain about the optimum trip.
Veneguera (IRE) Consistent this term but has the handicapper got a hold yet.
Distant Storm Has been shoved up 3lbs when not winning and probably best opposed.
Lorgnette Very much a Wincanton specialist but racing off highest mark so far.
Kirdford (IRE) Wins have come in lower grade and might struggle against better opposition.
