In depth
Formwatch
El Zito (IRE) Has topweight for return to the flat, but fit from decent run over jumps 12 days ago.
Ionian Spring (IRE) Stayed on well behind White Plains over shorter and weighted to turn tables.
White Plains (IRE) Eight times a winner here, but needs a strongly run race.
Pulau Pinang (IRE) Finished last over two miles on last start. Shaped well on only previous try on all-weather.
Western Command (GER) In form, and all eight wins have come on the fibresand. Must go close.
Baron de Pichon (IRE) Beaten favourite here last time and taking a step up in trip
Lost Spirit Form figures speak for themselves. Has been a revelation since changing stables and can take fourth win on the reel.
Kirisnippa Finished well behind on previous start, and sees to be an in and out performer.
Wilemmgeo Needed the outing here nine days ago, and not out of it on turf form.
Night City Trailblazer receives weight from the others, but prefers Lingfield.
