In depth

Formwatch

Always Three fair efforts to his name and clearly in with a chance at this level; half-brother to Londoner; up in trip today

Birdwatching Seventh in a race won by Bandari that has produced other winners; that was in August and he would need to have improved for the absence; cost 52,000gns

Boltoutoftheblue Not an obvious chance on what we've seen so far; up in trip today

Delaware Bay Couple of fair early-season seconds suggested better was to come; it hasn't yet and others much preferred

Esteemed Master (USA) Showed he stays the trip last time and has certainly shown enough to come into the reckoning here; first-time blinkers today

Gabor Second to subsequent Italian Group One-placed Swing Wing last time and fairly closely weighted with Esteemed Master through Impeller on that basis (although weights favour the latter today); steps up in trip but should be OK, certainly in time, on that score

Playback (IRE) Not an obvious stayer on breeding but can't be entirely ruled out on the basis of form if he does

Shove Ha'penny (IRE) Cost 60,000gns but winless - despite a number of placings - in 12 efforts; held by Esteemed Master on latest run, but was staying on; finished further ahead of Rahwaan than Always did when they met, and given that he acts here, can't be dismissed with good 3lb claimer aboard

Stickwithsterling (USA) Cost $100,000 and showed promise on one run so far; plenty of stamina on dam's side, ought to win races in time and has to be considered today

Elder Princess (IRE) Last of 10 on debut,; no obvious reason why she should feature here

Fragaria Girl Last on both starts so far; hard to fancy

Polar Tryst Ran better on debut than bare form suggests; should improve in time but today might be a little too soon
