Previous results

In depth

Formwatch

Eastern Purple (IRE) An infrequent winner for one of his ability but has been in excellent heart of late including close third in 5f Goodwood Group 3; equaly effective over this trip and will take plenty of pegging back

Munjiz (IRE) Generally in good form this term but did not need to be at best in Bath conditions event latest and more expected here.

Welcome Friend (USA) Showed best form since making a winning reappearance when landing a conditions event in impressive fashion latest; will go close.

Mugharreb (USA) Lightly raced and best form when close second in similar company at Newbury last month but disappointed latest and best watched here.

Patsy's Double Decisive winner latest but faces no easy task at weights and needs more cut in the ground to be fully effective.
