In depth
Formwatch
Bouchasson (FR) , Native Wit, Skillwise, I'm A Bargain and Foly Pleasant should be battling out the finish in a very tricky contest. Ferdy Murphy's Native Wit looks to have been laid out for this, having finished fourth at Ascot in November on her sole start this term, while Bouchasson comes here an unbeaten horse at Ayr, having won at this corresponding meeting as a novice two years ago. Foly Pleasant is an interesting prospect with few miles on the clock, while Skillwise is another to consider in an ultra competitive heat. Tim Easterby's charge looks well treated racing off a 3lb higher mark following a return to form at Haydock last week. I'm A Bargain is unbeaten following two starts this term, and is another for the short list.
