In depth
Formwatch
Afaan (IRE) Will enjoy this track and trip but looks just a little too high in the weights today.
Kathology (IRE) AW debut; has got some ability and was highly tried last term; positive jockey booking but this looks a tough task.
Illusive (IRE) Won competitive event on Saturday but may find this trip on the short side.
Tom Tun Tough, game and genuine gelding; should be in good heart after two recent runs and looks the one to catch.
Mizhar (USA) Put up best effort last time behind Illusive; needs the run of the race and may struggle to get competitive in this event.
Mr Stylish Took to the AW well last term and with conditions in his favour and top AW jockey booked this Mazilier gelding should put in a good effort.
Animal Cracker Speedy type who was previously with Brian Meehan; may need this run but is an interesting outsider.
Half Moon Bay Respected trainer but will have done very well to produce this to win on his AW debut.
Branston Pickle Highly raced sprinter; seems difficult to win with and others preferred.
Prince Nico (IRE) Looks in the handicappers grip at the moment.
Ready To Rock (IRE) Generally consistent but will need to step up on previous efforts to do well today.
