      Formwatch

      Hawkes Run Just touched off at Kempton on reappearance; lightly-raced maiden; should get every inch of this trip

      Dardanus Well behind Jalons Star at Doncaster on Mar 22 bit is now 14lbs better off; has an AW win at Southwell to his name; tried in a first-time visor today

      Rambagh Steps up in trip and may well appreciate that move; John Dunlop's runners have to be respected and this one is no exception

      Jalons Star (IRE) Likely to set the running; raised 11lbs since winning two starts ago; trip and ground should be no problem

      King's Crest You can make a case for him on last season's effort; untried at the trip but should handle the ground
