      In depth

      Formwatch

      Albarahin (USA) Twice beaten by Right Wing this season (reportedly not fully wound up on the first occasion) and worse off here; return to this trip should suit though and should get uncontested lead, so may be worth another chance now he has had two starts.

      Fanaar Meets Right Wing on 3lb worse terms than at Newmarket; no reason why he should reverse form although drop in trip may help.

      Island Sands (IRE) Won the 2,000 Guineas in 1999; does not seem as good now and is opposable despite the booking of Dettori.

      Nicobar Held by Right Wing and Albarahin on reappearance running at Doncaster; may strip fitter now but best form is over seven furlongs.

      Right Wing (IRE) Is in the form of his life right now; seemingly has the beating of Albarahin although the drop back in trip may not be ideal.

      Swallow Flight (IRE) Best in at the weights on official BHB ratings; goes on the ground and has to be respected but lack of a recent form is worrying.

      Umistim Handled cut in the ground when winning Craven Stakes last season; disappointed on reappearance at Newmarket this term and probably best watched here.
