In depth

Formwatch

Spirit of Love (USA) Not as effective as in his younger days when landing Cesarewitch as 3-y-o; closely matched with Alhesn and Makarim over C/D latest.

Makarim (IRE) Progressive on the all-weather winning four times this winter; ran solid race off current mark latest; has strong claims once again.

Harik Has had breathing problems but took advantage of lenient mark latest; still well treated off 2lb higher mark.

Mickley (IRE) Well handicapped on last season's winning turf form; well beaten on all-weather debut last month.

Alsahib (USA) Overcame absence to win two from three this term; 6lb higher than latest but won with something to spare; holds leading chance.

Chater Flair Well suited by step up to this trip landing back to back handicaps in January; held off current mark latest.

Alhesn (USA) An infrequent winner but was given a good ride by today's jockey when scoring over C/D in January; just 2lb higher.

Ferny Hill (IRE) Moderate hurdler who is on a long losing sequence and not certain to stay; has plenty to prove.
