In depth

Formwatch

Gold Academy (IRE) Dropped into handicaps after contesting Group races; interesting.

Sharp Play Behind The Whistling Teal at Redcar; looks high enough in the handicap at present.

Grampas (USA) Difficult task on seasonal return; should not be inconvenienced by trip or ground.

The Whistling Teal Most progressive this term; won Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar and looks capable of more.

Ferzao (IRE) Disappointed last time but clear chance on his win at York over 1m2f when beating Jedi Knight and Catchy Word.

Rokeby Bowl Dropping down the handicap but looks a light of former self.

Bound For Pleasure (IRE) Fought off Air Defence at Doncaster last year; looks to have a lot on his plate.

Julius (IRE) Should go on the ground; handicapper hasn't taken any chances.

Chem's Truce (IRE) Landed a Kempton gamble; 10lb higher today; should be thereabouts.

Nadour Al Bahr (IRE) Finished nearer last than first this term.

Kingsclere Out of form.

Thundering Surf Outstayed at Yarmouth last time out but has clear chances on a fourth at Newmarket (Bogus Dreams third.)

Kuster Unlucky at Epsom over 8.5f; none too consistent.

Invader Makes little appeal.

Zibeline (IRE) Fair effort to finish five lengths behind Solo Flight over 1m4f; probably not as effective over this trip.

Ragdale Hall (USA) Improved to be second to Chem's Truce last time out; could be capable of further improvement.

Counsel's Opinion (IRE) Appears not to possess good enough turf form to win this.

Muhtafel Tough task on his reappearance.
