In depth

Formwatch

King Spinner (IRE) Tailed off last time out after some decent efforts previous; not to be trusted today.

Tissifer Very consistent over a variety of trip without winning; this could be his day and should be involved in all calculations.

Torrential Storm (USA) Did not seem to appreciate step up in trip last time and although open to improvement is best avoided here.

Livius (IRE) Goes well on a rain-softened surface but never seems to run up to his best at this track; disappointing run last time does not offer much encouragement.

Al Azhar Will cope with soft ground but seems better over a shorter trip and easily opposed here.

Force Four (USA) Racecourse form offers little encouragement.

Galleon Beach Stepping sharply back down in trip and others are easily preferred.

Lucky For George French form of last season offers little encouragement.

Preciso (IRE) Fairly consistent but likely to struggle on these terms unless showing great improvement.

Almohad No real prospect.

Bullet Distance winner but it will be good training performance to bring this gelding back after such a long absence - even for Mr Pipe.

Charles Spencelayh (IRE) Excellent chance on run at Chester last month but disappointed in handicap in native Norway since; one to consider but treated with caution.

Green Casket (IRE) Trainer loves this meeting but is unlikely to have a winner here unless recent form is turned right around and step up in trip is appreciated.

Gruinart (IRE) Has been below par for some time and no reason to see him suddenly improving.

Hetra Hawk Very unlikely to figure on previous racecourse form.

Needwood Maestro Seems well below even this level although has won on soft ground.

Swift Has not been at his best for a long time and is easily passed over here.

Warning Reef Slightly inconsistent but has the ability to land this type of event; would not want it too soft but last win came at Newmarket and has outsider's chance here.

Mr Gisby (USA) If improving for step up in trip would not have to be anything special to land this; yet to race on soft ground.

Unsigned (USA) Best efforts have come over this trip but has disappointed of late over further; acts on soft ground but prefers it faster.

Join The Parade overall level of form is below what is needed to win this competitive claimer.

Kindred Falls Trainer in form and a likely staying type on breeding but it is anybody's guess how good/bad this filly could be.

Alqabas (IRE) Struggled last time on reappearance; best watched until showing signs of coming to hand.

Texas Ranger Steady performer but looks out of his depth here.

Blue Pool Tried over a variety of trips, tracks and goings to little effect.

Sanapta Much improvement needed.

Shining Oasis (IRE) Outside chance if relishing this extra trip but not one to trust.
