In depth
Formwatch
Gandon Showed promise when placed in three Irish maidens last season; the trip will be no problem but he has an absence to overcome.
Le Cavalier (USA) Modest form and has yet to win a race; acts on the track and at the trip.
On The Take (IRE) Has finished last on both starts so far so it's hard to draw any encouragement for his chances.
Dancing Mary In a first-time visor she finished two and-a-half lengths ahead of Le Cavalier last time over course and distance; she's two punds better off at today's weights and has to go well.
Jalons Star (IRE) No show in all-weather efforts at Lingfield this year; attracted money on final turf start last season; bred to get this trip.
Deep Ravine (USA) Down the field in a Leopardstown maiden last year on heavy; is likely to have improvement in her.
Mark One Showed a deal of promise last season at 7-8f; this is quite a step up in trip but you can't dismiss her from calculations.
Miss Devious (IRE) Improved for a step up to 11f last time on the all-weather at Southwell; entitled to put up a show off a feather weight.
