        In depth

        Formwatch

        Genial Genie Ran well enough on debut three days ago at Southwell to suggest a race like this is within his capabilities; was doing his best work at the end of that 7f race.

        Grantley Highly tried maiden who finds little in a finish; probably worth another chance at some point but will find others better today.

        Kings To Open Ran well enough here in December to suggest he could win here today; disappointing recent efforts are a concern however.

        Malarkey Form pick of this poor field; jockey and trainer in good nick and looks the one to beat if fit enough today.

        On The Take (IRE) By Kahyasi out of an unraced mare; trained by Barney Curley so watch out for any market moves.

        Pretty Indulgent No ability shown in two previous runs and off the track for a long time; opposable.

        Western Ridge (FR) Well-bred and showed a modicum of form in some decent events as a two-year-old for Luca Cumani; long absence a worry but would not have to be brilliant to win this.

        Slip Killick No real hint of ability in occasional runs so far; tried today in a visor.

        Spot Some late headway behind Jorrocks over a mile last week and could make the frame today.
