In depth
Formwatch
Salim Good winner of conditions race here earlier in the month and step up in trip should not be a problem. Lightly raced and quite well treated.
Riverblue (IRE) A couple of reasonable efforts in January and slipping to an attractive mark, but others preferred on overall form.
Pageant 6lbs better off for a 3 1/4 length defeat at Southwell recently, but 'Jones' is improving and likely to frank the form here.
Gypsy (IRE) Slightly better effort when third in a claimer recently, but this looks a lot harder.
Rainbow Rain (USA) Not in the best of form and hard to see him winning this.
Rendita (IRE) Good run here at the beginning of the month when second to Young Bigwig, but a doubtful stayer over this trip.
Lou's Wish Fair effort when third at Southwell recently, but takes a big step down in distance today and may struggle to go the pace.
Indiana Jones (IRE) Lightly raced but has shown very little in four runs so far. Beaten out of sight on handicap debut.
Tarradale Only one win from 40 attempts and probably best sticking to sellers.
Madame Jones (IRE) Has really struck form in last week or so, and won with a bit in hand over course and distance recently. She races off the same mark today and has every chance of landing the hat trick.
Kuuipo Overall form very moderate and a surprise if she could trouble some of the more fancied runners here.
Queens Stroller (IRE) Game mare who finished in front of Madame Jones here in January. Well treated on that form, and although the latter has clearly improved since then, Stroller could run well here at a decent price.
Flight of Dreams (IRE) Finished last turf season in fair form, but well behind Madame Jones on all-weather debut and hard to see her changing that around.
