In depth
Formwatch
Proceed With Care Improved performance to win a conditions race at Newmarket's Craven meeting; chances here if handling faster ground.
Goggles (IRE) Held by Albuhera on Newbury running last term.
Inspector General (IRE) Has not seemingly progressed this season; difficult to fancy.
Up Tempo (IRE) Stayed on well behind Amicable at Chester last week; claims if stripping fitter for that outing.
Albuhera (IRE) Holds Goggles on last season form; looks stable second string on jockey bookings.
Injaaz Like so many of the stable's horses made a winning reappearance; will find this harder off new mark.
Needwood Blade Already twice a winner this term and again ran well in defeat at Chester last week; Step up in trip not certain to suit.
Orientor Looks to have plenty of weight for what he has achieved.
Starbeck (IRE) Winner of a soft ground maiden here last October; unproven on a fast surface.
Whale Beach (USA) Has disappointed in two starts this term; hard to fancy.
How Do I Know Has shown a liking for soft ground when winning at Redcar and Newmarket; faster ground today poses a problem.
Trustthunder Highly tried as a juvenile; no sign of encouragement when dropped to handicap company at Chester last week.
Smirk Made all to win a Newmarket maiden at Craven meeting; harshly treated for handicap debut.
Hamadeenah First run in a handicap so difficult to weigh up; stable in good form.
Lord Protector (IRE) Winner on the all-weather last month; this is tougher.
Shush No sign of encouragement from four starts this year.
Lapwing (IRE) Good fourth on reappearance at Newmarket behind Real Buddy; faster ground will suit and stable continues in good form.
Taranaki Should appreciate the return to this trip after staying on at the end of six furlongs last time.
Irish Stream (USA) Handles any ground but beaten a long way on comeback and may need this.
Pharaoh Hatshepsut (IRE) Sprung a surprise at Thirsk on reappearance; faces a tough task here from 5lb out of the weights.
