In depth
Formwatch
Kewarra Has never lived up to the promise of his earlier career; does go well for apprentices but needs to find a lot on the balance of form; AW debut.
Be Warned Won his last two races but the last victory was no means an easy one; whether this relatively inexperienced jockey can get the best out of this horse remains to be seen.
Poker School (IRE) Been off the track for a long time and must be watched on his return today as he may have had training problems.
Evezio Rufo Tends to run his best races at this time of year and should be there at the business end of the race; coming back to something like his best.
Royal Partnership (IRE) Poor hurdler who has yet to prove he is suited either by this trip or course.
Tswalu Lightly-raced and yet to show any ability including on AW debut two weeks ago; never started less than 20/1 and never been placed.
Gold Blade Durable campaigner who should come on for his seasonal debut 14 days ago where he was hampered but not given a hard race when staying on one-paced; must be in with a shout if he remembers he won a similar race to this six years ago.
Hill Farm Dancer Prolific course and distance winner but is out of the handicap and has had a problem starting in recent outings; if she breaks on level terms she has place claims.
Westcoast Having first run on the flat for nearly four years although is fit from the jumps; little real appeal.
