In depth

Formwatch

Kaiapoi Hard to fancy.

Hugs Dancer (FR) Won over extreme distances this term; plenty of weight for those efforts though.

Little Docker (IRE) Yet to race on anything like this ground.

Post Box (USA) Looks a suspect stayer.

Solitary Goes on the ground; has dropped plenty in the weights but trainer is not in the greatest of form.

Aspirant Dancer Won over this trip last season on soft; back to a winning mark if in the mood.

Manzoni Very disappointing latest but needs it soft; market move would be significant.

Mr Fortywinks (IRE) Won at Ripon in April on soft; back to a winning mark; one for the short list.

Ranville Form suggests that he has to be the one to beat if staying the trip.

Grand Fromage (IRE) Useful stayer but some niggling doubts about the trip.

Red Sun Opposable.

Ulshaw Has never won off this high a mark.

Wontcostalotbut Capable mare who should go well on this ground; cannot be written off here.

Repton In good form at the moment but the ground is probably against him.

Indian Sun Has bits of form on the surface but that was only over a mile and quite some time ago.

My Legal Eagle (IRE) Shown some ability on soft; not helped by a large discrepancy at the weights.

Hard Days Night (IRE) Stiff task from so far out of the handicap.
