In depth
Formwatch
Stratton (IRE) Cannot knock this chap's performances this year but handicapper has now taken note in a big way
Kayo Still retains ability despite a recent foray into claiming company; not particularly successful at this track.
Amicable (IRE) Disappointing since showing promise at Royal Ascot in the Britannia. Given another chance.
Nothing Daunted Seems to have lost the plot after early season success.
Lapwing (IRE) A second to Father Thames reads well but has a bit to find here.
A Touch of Frost Has been a tad disappointing of late and not really helped by the draw or the ground.
Inspector General (IRE) Has ability but isn't the most genuine of characters.
Suave Native (USA) A ninth in a recent Conditions event just isn't good enough.
Goodie Twosues Not much to write home about on last two starts.
Nose The Trade Difficult to give a sniff to.
How Do I Know Thrown in at the deep end on first step up to 7f.
Intricate Web (IRE) Performs well in Northern handicaps but doesn't appear to reproduce it down South.
Cardinal Venture (IRE) Recent Doncaster winner but has to bounce back from a shocker last time out.
Nisr Still relatively unexposed but would need to improve to land this.
Elsie Plunkett Hasn't trained on as a three-year-old.
Millennium Force Seems to handle any ground; shouldn't be too far away.
Komena Last in two previous outings.
Labrett Looks out of form at present.
La Speziana (IRE) Clear ability and might be able to exploit this mark if the ground goes soft
James Stark (IRE) Regular in big field handicaps but regularly misses the boat.
Premier Baron Should produce usual early speed but might not finish at that rate
Flint River Capable performer but never really good enough to trouble the judge.
Zhitomir Has done well in lesser grade
Cork Harbour (FR) Hard to fancy.
Swynford Welcome Steps up in grade after making hey in lower grade.
Deep Blue Opposed.
Compton Arrow (IRE) Would probably need it faster in order to figure in this contest.
Hilltop Warning Likable sort but best form has come on a faster surface.
Glowing First time over 7f; any market move would be worth following.
Literary Society (USA) Beginning to drop down the handicap but not really a 7f performer.
