In depth

Formwatch

Stratco (IRE) Beat subsequent very good winner Fireball Macnamara back in June; raised to a mark of 110 following a couple of wins; we'll find out how fair that is on Friday

Haydn James (USA) Has won from a mark of 100 over hurdles and is rated 103 today; is a winning chaser but is at the top end of his rating over the smaller obstacles

Bold King (FR) Well-weighted on his novice form but did not find as much as hoped for when asked at Wetherby last time; the form of that race has worked out OK; not without a chance

Rose of Tracarta (IRE) Looks to be getting her act together now; first time in handicap company; we'll get more of an idea as to how steep the improvement curve is on Friday

Distant Storm Has had plenty of racing; races from a mark of 100 today which, even though he has won off 111, most of the wins have come from lower
