          In depth

          Formwatch

          Sugarfoot Has battled with the best of the milers; disappointed last time but should run a game race.

          Soviet Flash (IRE) Third in an Epsom Group 3 and had Tough Speed behind him over 1m at York; Dettori deserts him today.

          Tough Speed (USA) Likely favourite; trainer and jockey won this last year but the horse has never won over a mile.

          Mastermind (IRE) Improved this year to win at Newbury; twice had the better of the useful Pulau Tioman but can he improve again.

          Blue Mountain Not beaten far by Swallow Flight at Windsor over 1m; yet to win over this distance.

          Calcutta On his best behaviour this term; 10lb higher than his previous highest winning mark.

          Vintage Premium Has improved since gelding; visored today for first time.

          Duke of Modena Tackles a mile for the first time; suited by the ground.

          Crimson Tide (IRE) Successfully campaigned on the all-weather; may find this trip too short.

          Muchea Evergreen performer; always runs well without getting his head in front.

          Montecastillo (IRE) Fair form in Ireland; Pat Eddery rides today.

          Border Subject Largely progressive in his races so far; will stay this distance.

          Surprise Encounter Winner over 7f at Doncaster; preferred to Soviet Flash by Dettori.

          J R Stevenson (USA) Won over a mile at Brighton; more on his plate here.

          Camberley (IRE) First string of the Cole runners; ante post money suggests he has a live chance.

          Big Future Talented individual; best form is on 7f rather than this trip.

          Peacock Alley (IRE) Out of form this term; stable has been in cracking form recently.

          Bold King Fair performer. Appears better suited by softer ground.

          Krato (USA) No form in sprints this year; previously successful in America over this trip.

          Celebration Town (IRE) Won over this trip at York; best form is on softer ground.

          Mana-Mou Bay (IRE) Plenty to find on form.

          Kirovski (IRE) Course and distance winner; more competitive event today.

          Kilkenny Castle (IRE) Unplaced on return from a long absence; all to do here.

          Atavus Winner of a Newmarket handicap; still unexposed.

          Peartree House (IRE) Struggled in weaker handicaps this term.

          Sir Ferbet (IRE) Well beaten at Windsor; has a chance on earlier form.

          Choto Mate (IRE) Won over 7f at Sandown; may not be good enough in this company.

          Silverware (IRE) Won over a mile at the Curragh; never won off this mark.

          Worldly Treasure (USA) Bits of form over 7f; blinkered for the first time.

          Parisien Star (IRE) Ran well last time out; booking of Jimmy Quinn a positive.

          Nimello (USA) A revelation in the early part of the season; conditions against him today and Fortune prefers Camberley.

          Man O'Mystery (USA) Has performed creditably over further distances; difficult task today.
