In depth

Formwatch

Harmonic Way Cork and Orrery Stakes winner; has to be a big danger here.

Pipalong (IRE) Very disappointing at Haydock latest; not certain to recover losses on this ground.

Atavus Very able but has to be a major doubt as to how effective he'll be over this sharp trip.

Bahamian Pirate (USA) Seems capable of performing on any ground but poorly drawn today.

Monkston Point (IRE) Would need it softer than this.

Mount Abu (IRE) Has plenty of guts but probably not the class of other rivals.

Munjiz (IRE) Useful handicapper who would probably appreciate more cut in the ground.

Securite (ARG) Very difficult to assess from a form perspective but seems more of a dirt performer.

Tedburrow Game old stick but hard to see him win in this grade.

Freud (USA) Third here in the Cork and Orrery Stakes but disappointing since.

Orientor Progressive handicapper; would need more rain to have any chance here.

Zilch Plenty to find on the book in this grade.

Hot Tin Roof (IRE) Would want it softer.

Nice One Clare (IRE) Back to form latest; best watched in the market here.

Toroca (USA) Won't be inconvenienced by the ground but this trip may be on the short side.

Vision of Night In great form of late; would be suited by fast ground.

El Gran Lode (ARG) Has done most of his winning on softer surfaces; opposed.

Invincible Spirit (IRE) Ninth in the Cork and Orrery Stakes here; goes well for Pat Eddery but this is a tough heat.

Mull Of Kintyre (USA) Doubtful that he'll be quite good enough to win here.

Tillerman Talented on the day but arguably better over 7f.

Mugharreb (USA) Recent Newmarket winner; will be suited by a strong pace.
