Formwatch
Flossy This more her trip than the distance she raced she raced over last time but has not quite shone in her outings this season and is best watched.
Tough Leader Well travelled but is on a long losing run an is hard to recommend
John Hunter (IRE) Won his maiden well at Redcar but looks to have a bit to prove here.
Bonaguil (USA) Should handle the ground and is one to consider racing off this kind of mark.
Hannibal Lad Came from last to first to take The Old Newton Cup and should go well again, goes well for todays jockey and looks the one to beat.
Sarangani Should not be found wanting for stamina but overall profile not convincing.
Dancing Bay Out of form at present and best watched.
Sir Ninja (IRE) Another out of form and best watched.
Mana d'Argent (IRE) not seen at his best at this trip but one to consider in this company.
Love Everlasting Stepping up in trip here and would benefit from a strong pace but can be given an outside chance based on the best of her form
