In depth

Formwatch

Astonished Likes to come late and should be able to get a good position from the box draw, comes here in fair form and just possible that first time visor will bring a little extra out of him, one for the short-list.

Superior Premium Capable on his day but has found little at the end of his races this season, also has to put a poor effort last time behind him.

Tedburrow Tough and consistent performer who continues to figure strongly in events like this, has the worst of the draw but that may not be such a hindrance in a field of this size.

Yorkies Boy Best effort this season when landing a valuable Handicap at York back in May but not certain to repeat that effort and looks held by one or two of these.

Damalis (IRE) Four times a course winner but may be best at the minimum distance.

Vita Spericolata (IRE) Any rain would aid her cause but may find this sharp track less than ideal.

Primo Valentino (IRE) Made an impressive return to the track at Newmarket in April and would be a big danger to all if recapturing some of that sparkle, but has to put a couple of disappointing efforts behind him to figure.
