In depth
Formwatch
Persuade Improving sort who won well at Lingfield recently; higher in the weights today but should go well.
Astle (IRE) First attempt in a handicap but comfortably won his maiden over 7f here two weeks ago; the runner-up in that race has franked the form and a good run is expected today.
Alconbury Stepping up in trip today and improvement needed to win here; from powerful stable and might be hard to beat today.
Ice Prince Hint of ability on turf and the AW; good trainer/jockey at this track and is respected today on handicap debut.
Media Buyer (USA) Not one to get excited about in this company; still a maiden.
