In depth

Formwatch

Allez Mousson Staying pedigree; time might bring out the best in him so others preferred

Beacon Hill Gem Well behind Tinian on his debut over course and distance on heavy; would need to come on a great deal to reverse the placings today

Daniavi (IRE) Very well-bred Aga Khan colt who showed little on his Doncaster maiden debut last October; Stoute horses cannot be ruled out at this level

High Prospect (IRE) No show in decent maiden at Newmarket on April 17; would need to have come on a lot for that

Magic Waters This type of distance should suit better than the 6f and 8f that he's run over so far; he has shown promise; will qualify for handicaps after this run

Mr Micky (IRE) Not an obvious contender on the basis of pedigree and others preferred

Perestroika (IRE) No show in back-end Doncaster maiden (Daniavi just behind); some stamina on the dam's side but, on the whole, a little hard to assess

Tinian Well ahead of Beacon Hill Gem on debut over course and distance on heavy; Derby entry looks hopeful but a repetition of debut effort means he has to be considered

Torrential Storm (USA) Hard to fully assess; from the Michael Jarvis team; market might prove best guide

Ya Habibi Luca Cumani's string have been slow coming to hand this year; Selkirk colt who might just need this

As Good As It Gets Plenty of stamina on the dam's side of the breeding; no show on debut last October; others preferred

Guardia Stable is in great form and she is bound to be popular today; she has respectable maiden form also and, although untried in this ground, should stay the trip; has to come to the fore in a race race that lacks strength in depth

Scheherazade Judging from jockey bookings, looks the better-fancied of the two Cumani runners; plenty of stamina in the pedigree; no show at Newbury recently
